It is believed Reza Dormishian's criticism of the Iranian government on social media is directly related to the actions taken against him.
Iranian authorities have barred filmmaker Reza Dormishian from visiting the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, where 'A Minor,' a movie he produced, was scheduled to play in the competition.
According to Variety, he is the most recent representative of Iranian cinema to face sanctions from the Iranian regime due to his expression of anti-regime opinions.
The IFFI had invited Dormishian for the film that was directed by Dariush Mehrjui.
He did not, however, receive permission from the Iranian government to leave the country. His film 'A Minor' played on Thursday and Friday at IFFI.
