Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi, who is currently behind bars, serving a six-year prison sentence, has won the Special Jury Prize for No Bears. Julian Moore, the jury head for this year’s Venice Film Festival, was a part of a flash mob on the red carpet for the last day of the event to protest against Panahi’s arrest and demand his immediate release.
