2009 Iranian Revolution - Venice film festival goes green for Iran september 9

The Venice film festival is providing a timely forum for Iranian works such as Shirin Neshat's "Women Without Men" amid crackdowns on opposition groups disputing the June elections in their country.

The festival also saw screening of "Green Days", the second feature-length film of Hana Makhmalbaf, 21, the daughter of filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf. Made since the election, the film uses news footage including the killing of Neda Agha-Soltan, who became a symbol of martyrdom for the cause of freedom and democracy in Iran.

I am from the second generation of iranians here in Italy: we did a lot for our compatriots in Iran, but as an italian I must say that in Italy a Fascist regime is growing day by day : in Italy we are hiding our loss of freedom by supporting the iranian freedomfighters
