Protested against the arrest of
Jafar Panahi, detained on 1 March 2010. "For me,
Jafar Panahi is one of the most essential filmmakers that we have in the world today; he is not merely a major figure in Iranian cinema, but a major figure in world cinema whose career, work, and humanist vision has been a major form of enlightenment for me and many others. He needs to be set free in order to continue this essential work".
