Importance of trees in our daily life is huge. We all know that but we are not alert of it. Because of the lackness of trees these days we have faced so many natural problems. We should consider these things seriously.

These divisive spectacles — Poliss won a Jury Prize but was lambasted as the worst of the fest by a good portion of the press corps — overshadowed some of Cannes' quieter triumphs. The Kid With a Bike, the latest tale of ordinary morality and mundane spirituality from Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, is another in a long line of naturalistic near-masterpieces directed by the Belgian brothers, distinguished by an unexpectedly happy ending.
The discovery of the fest for me was Bonsai, the second feature by Chilean director Cristián Jiménez, a bittersweet, slyly self-reflexive elegy to first love lost, remembered and potentially resuscitated through literature.

All of which looked like escapist diversions next to Mohamed Rasoulof's spare, tense Goodbye, a matter-of-fact chronicle of an Iranian female former social-justice lawyer's attempt to leave the country, which won the directing prize in Un Certain Regard, Cannes' second-tier competition. Rasoulof and Jafar Panahi, who with Mojtaba Mirtahmasb co-directed Goodbye's de facto companion film, the Cannes selection This Is Not a Film, have been barred from leaving Iran and banned by that state from filmmaking.
I left Cannes before the premiere of This Is Not a Film, but reviews suggest that, like Goodbye, it is very much a work of reportage from a closed state, a window into the struggles of daily life on the precipice between political engagement and self-preservation, created specifically to communicate that experience to the outside world. The mere existence of these films — and the notion that they could be smuggled out of Iran through the channel of the film festival despite the fact that the filmmakers themselves couldn't cross the border to attend — constitutes an international news event. Lars von Trier being Lars von Trier? That's just another day at Cannes.
