The great Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf (director of Kandahar, Moments of Innocence and Gabbeh, among others) is urging the international community to not recognize President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."This wasn't electoral fraud. This was a coup," Makhmalbaf told reporters in Rome. "What we ask of foreign governments is to not recognise Ahmadinejad's government."
Reuters has more here.
Also, you can find brief remarks from Makhmalbaf on Youtube here (I'd post the clip myself, but embedding has been disabled by its owner, unfortunately).
