According to the public relations of the Farabi Cinema Foundation, the "Golden Crane" award of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Film Festival was presented to Shabnam Ghorbani, the actress of *Gambler*, on Sunday night. Due to her absence, Mohsen Bahari, the film's director, attended the ceremony in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, wearing a shirt bearing the "Minab 168" design and took the stage.
The director of *Gambler*, while honoring the memory of the children of Minab, said: "On the first day of the attack by America and the Zionist regime on Iran, a school in Minab was hit by two direct missiles, where children aged 7 to 12 were present. In Minab, 168 students and teachers were martyred. We dedicate this award to their souls, and we are certain that with their own small hands, they will take their own revenge."
The social-mystery film *Gambler*, a production of the Farabi Cinema Foundation, was screened in the competition section of this international event. So far, the film has participated in two film festivals in Macedonia and Kyrgyzstan and has won two international awards.
