TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran protested the Cannes Film Festival screening of "Persepolis," an animated adaptation of Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel about growing up in Iran after the Islamic revolution, a semiofficial news agency reported Sunday.
The film is competing for the festival's top prize, the Palme d'Or, and has its official screening on Wednesday.
A letter of protest was sent to the French Embassy in Tehran by the Iran Farabi Foundation, a government-affiliated body in charge of festivals in Iran, according to the ISNA news agency, which provided the text of the letter.
