A lawyer for Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof, who just won the Berlin Film Festival's Golden Bear, says he's been summoned to serve a one-year prison sentence.

Nasser Zarafshan told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Rasoulof's sentence came from three films he made that authorities found to be "propaganda against the system."
Rasoulof just won the Berlin Film Festival's top prize for his film "There Is No Evil."
