ranian director Asghar Farhadi, who won this year's foreign-language picture Academy Award, claimed a prize at Cannes Sunday to help fund his next film, with fellow Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard. Farhadi, who made the wrenching family drama "A Separation", accepted the European Union's Prix Media with a EUR 60,000 cash award.

He said he would start filming the as-yet untitled picture starring Cotillard and fellow French actor Tahar Rahim later this year in France.
