YDA Wins 2023
Iran-e Man wins in Cannes Lions and YDA 2023
June 23, 2023

Iran-e Man, directed by Naghmeh Pour has won 2 x in Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and 3 x in Young Director Award this week.

The visual poem is woven from the richness of Iran, collaborating with Iranian artists and the fashion brand Pairi Daeza to support the women’s revolution. The project is for all children, women, men and LGBTQ+ community in Iran who’s been resisting dark ages for more than 40 years. It’s for all the people who hasn’t let bullets, imprisonment, torture, rape and death penalty suffocate their voices. We’re grateful to see it reach more people and highlight this important fight.

Cannes Lions – Film Craft: Cinematography (Bronze)
Cannes Lions – Film: Corporate Purpose & Social Responsibility (Bronze)

YDA: Online Branded Film (Gold)
YDA: Creative Use of Sound (Silver)
YDA: Changing the World Frame by Frame (Silver)
