Persian language broadcaster RadioFarda is reporting that Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof has had his passport seized.
The director, whose film A Man Of Integrity (Lerd) took the Un Certain Regard prize in Cannes this year, had arrived in Iran on Friday.
Rasoulof's director Kaveh Farnam announced the news, saying the passport was taken without explanation.
The director has a history of protest and was arrested in 2010, while he was helping fellow director Jafar Panahi to shoot a film. Despite the threat of jail, he returned to the country in 2013.
