THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG

Nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film

Shot entirely in secret, Mohammad Rasoulof's award-winning thriller, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG, centers on a family thrust into the public eye when Iman is appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran. As political unrest erupts in the streets, Iman realizes that his job is even more dangerous than expected, making him increasingly paranoid and distrustful, even of his own wife Najmeh and daughters Sana and Rezvan.

 "a surprising and revelatory film that shakes its first at an authoritarian government and, in doing so, turns into one of the best films of 2024."-San Jose Mercury News

"the film’s methodical pace, its deliberate unfolding of the family’s growing rifts, feels almost classical, as if we’re watching an old legend fitted to a new age." - New York Times
