Sudan Events: Follow-ups

At the conclusion of the Cannes Film Festival, director Nadine gave a moving speech while awarding director Mohamed Rasoulof a special award for the film The Seed Of The Sacred Fig. “There is unbearable injustice, but whatever group you belong to, it is not normal to remain normal when thousands of children die under bombs while they sleep.” She said in French.
Labaki continued her speech, amidst warm applause from the audience. “Also, it is not natural to remain natural, and there are women who lose their eyes, hands, legs, and lives for the sake of basic freedoms, and because art is not guilty but responsible, and because the price is sometimes high, we award a special award from the jury to Muhammad Rasoulof.” She said.
Lebanese director Nadine Labaki shined on the red carpet during the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, and stood next to the members of the official competition jury in full elegance in a striking black dress.
