Biography
Mohammad Rasoulof makes films that put him at odds with state power. Born 16 November 1972 in Iran, he's an independent filmmaker now living in exile in Europe. His career spans two decades of award-winning cinema: The Twilight (2002), Iron Island (2005), Goodbye (2011), Manuscripts Don't Burn (2013), A Man of Integrity (2017), and There Is No Evil, which won the Golden Bear at the 2020 Berlin Film Festival. In 2025, Time named him one of the 100 Most Influential People.
Rasoulof's work has repeatedly brought him into conflict with the Iranian Government. He has been arrested multiple times and had his passport confiscated. The stakes escalated in May 2024: after his film The Seed of the Sacred Fig was selected for the main competition at Cannes Film Festival, Iran's Islamic Republic sentenced him to 8 years in prison, whipping, and a fine. Rasoulof immediately fled to a safe house in Germany. As a screenwriter-filmmaker operating under state censorship and threat, his practice embodies resistance through cinema. Born under Scorpio, with Life Path 1 numerology signifying pioneering and solitary resolve, Rasoulof exemplifies the artist who refuses compromise.
