production of Bahman Qobadi as a representative of the Iranian cinema
in the ceremony.

several meetings.
The good technical quality, the global theme of the movie, a
sympathetic conception to peoples' sufferings especially Iraqi's
children and the genuine victims of the Saddam regime and the American
aggressive war were among reasons to elect the movie.
