Belgian directors Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne , Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, French filmmaker Alice Diop and Romanian director Cristian Mungiu have demanded that Iran ’s Fajr International Film Festival remove their films from the line-up of its current edition, running from February 1 to 11.

There was a moment last November when Channel 4 ’s senior executives breathed a sigh of relief.

Things soon got weirder. Coffey turned to Mahon and asked if she could raise a glass to Channel 4.
