Courage in Filmmaking

Official Statement from Director Mohammad Rasoulof: " Thank you all, Especially the Crested Butte festival organizers and the jury, thank you for presenting us with this meaningful award. The title of the award, “Courage in Filmmaking”, reminds us all that censorship is still a horrifying obstacle in many parts of the world that affects many filmmakers. For these filmmakers, much of their creative energy is spent in an erosive and dangerous on-going struggle to attain basic human rights and freedom of speech and expression. Continuing censorship results in a dark cloud of ignorance hanging over a large portion of our planet. There is No Evil was made under prohibitive circumstances. This film would never have been completed if not for the bravery of the cast and crew on set and behind the scenes. They were most definitely the truly courageous ones, choosing to work beside me with no regard to the risk they were taking.

With total respect to the Crested Butte Film Festival jury, I redirect this award to all on and behind the scenes of There is No Evil who with one voice said “NO” to censorship. :
