The popular and well-known Iranian director, as the chairman of the jury of the International Festival, suddenly finds himself faced with the fundamental question and challenge of being ontological or not. Having always faced numerous obstacles and difficulties in making and distributing his films, he intended to move away from the daily stressful environment with his family and turn this artistic journey into a fun journey. But the thought of death does not leave him for a moment; Even in artistic conflicts and arbitrary debates and narrow-mindedness and ideological and nationalist prejudices and individual biases of some members of the jury, the novel Purgatory Jury is a search about life, philosophical and artistic reflections, love and jealousy, contradictions and conflicts in Today's cyberspace and the spread of populism and vulgarity … Dariush Mehrjoui (born 1941) is a well-known Iranian director and writer. He has won dozens of national and international awards, both for directing and screenwriting. From Mehrjoui's films, we can mention cows, enamel circle, tenants, centaurs, etc.
