Even though the world celebrated the Iranian film "Separation" by first awarding it with the Golden Bear in Cannes, later winning France's Cesar Award and last by winning an Oscar; Iran excluded itself from this celebration. The hidden political and social criticism in the film against Iran's internal policies has led its authorities to be very hostile in dealing with the film and director Asghar Farhadi when it cancelled a scheduled ceremony to celebrate winning the Oscar.And taking Iran's most famous directors "Abbas Kiarostami" as his role model, Farhadi decided to head to Paris to shoot his next film, just like Kiarostami did two years ago when the Iranian authorities set boundaries on art there so he left to Paris and directed "Certified Copy". Farhadi said that his film will be in French and will show in Cannes 2013 but there are no announced details about the story. However, some reports said that the film is about a love story between an Iranian girl and South African boy where they both live in France. Nothing confirms that this will be Farhadi's sixth film yet.
