He created camera film from cinema film, by stretching out the film to his arm length thus there are around Lessons with Kiarostami frames in a single roll of film. Anyways, the practical takeaway is this: to find inspiration in photography or cinemastudy both! Lessons with Kiarostami a Lessons with Kiarostami, we frame our reality. By deciding what to frame and what to leave outwe create significance. Life exists outside the frame, but by framing something; we tell others that it is important for others to pay Lessons with Kiarostami to it. This is why street photography is so great; we have the freedom Lessons with Kiarostami photographing Lessons with Kiarostami people we encounter. The images clearly appears frequently in classical Persian literature, in contemporary poetry and Japanese haiku. For Sohrab, the modern poet, the road is exile, wind, song, travel and restlessness. Though all of us dream, only one of us can talk about our dreams. The imagination is one of the most distinct and extraordinary gifts granted to human beings. We are aware of our other senses, such as sight, taste and hearing, and we are grateful for them. What is the function of dreaming? Where did it come from? Lessons with Kiarostami do we have the ability to dream? And why must we dream? I finally found a reason. When do we resort to dreaming? At times when we are unhappy with our circumstances. And how extraordinary is it that no dictatorship in the world can control it? They can throw you in jail, but you still have the ability to live your sentence outside the prison without anyone holding you there. Lessons with Kiarostami the imagination, you can pass over the insurmountable Lessons with Kiarostami without leaving any trace of yourself, and you can always go back. And if it does, the fruit will not be as good as it was in its original place. This is a rule of nature. I think if I had left my country, I would be the same as the tree. If you seek international success, fame, or opportunities; first seek to become successful locally! Art is essential to being human. We must use art to stir ourselves. To wake ourselves up, and for us to live epic lives beyond the everyday routines. Elements which can be eliminated have been eliminated. This was pointed out to me by somebody who referred to the paintings of Rembrandt and his use of light: some elements are highlighted while others are obscured or even pushed back into the dark. I think for photography, keep your photos simple, and minimalist. They expect to be given all the information. But for me, question marks are the punctuation of life. Abbas Kiarostami. I have this utopic idea: what if there was world peace, understanding, and tolerance? I am optimistic that art has this epic ability ability to connect all of humanity.

[DOWNLOAD^^][PDF]Lessons with Kiarostami#FullOnine Lessons with Kiarostami is fashioned from notes made at workshops led by Iranian director Abbas Kiarostamiwhere he worked closely with young filmmakers, shepherding them and their projects, sending them out with cameras, then screening and discussing the Lessons with Kiarostami. Edited by Paul Cronin and with a foreword by Mike Leighthe book is a piece of the filmmaker trilogy. All these translations are collected together in In the Shadow of Trees. Here for a brochure about the Kiarostami poetry project, from Sticking Place Books. Monday morning, 9am. AK cuts to the chase. I do not want to give you any advice as such. What we discuss here and what I say is not good or bad or right or wrong. I give you only my feelings. Draw your own conclusions and form your own opinions. My opinions are nothing but my work. Regardless, AK then launches into a lecture about his own digital filmmaking methods, using clips from his work, stopping only to pick our brains about the short films we will all be making in the coming days. Already, even before the end of this first day, I sense AK is anxious about our potential as a group. He knows — as do we — that the only way to learn anything is to do, not just sit here listening. A corner of the room is piled with video cameras while downstairs are four editing suites, ready and waiting for the fruits of our labour. Two students have an idea for a film which they pitch to the group. AK listens intently, asks questions, then suggests they are ready to shoot. There is no time to waste. This week might be more about sharing certain experiences than crafting complete stories. Just go out and make something to encourage everyone else. I remember creative writing class at school. When there were no limitations Lessons with Kiarostami our work, no one was able to produce anything. But once Lessons with Kiarostami restriction was imposed, everyone wrote something. What form should these restrictions going to take? Within this enclosed room there is limited space. Presumably films set in elevators have to be of limited time. They make noises, they have flashing lights, some of them even talk to us. People get on and off — perhaps on the wrong floor — which is a good way of introducing characters. The elevator is inevitably something we encounter on the way to other things, places and people. We Lessons with Kiarostami even make an action film in a lift by introducing an assassin on the fifth floor and a hero on the ninth. There is the potential for a whole host of activity in an elevator.

  • Silence Studies in the Cinema and the Case of Abbas Kiarostami
    SILENCE STUDIES IN THE CINEMA AND THE CASE OF ABBAS KIAROSTAMI by Babak Tabarraee M.A., Tehran University of Art, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Film Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2013 © Babak Tabarraee, 2013 Abstract This thesis is an attempt to formulate a systematic framework for ‘silence studies’ in the cinema by defining silence in pragmatic terms and suggesting different forms of filmic silence. As an illustration of my model, I examine the variety of silences in the works of Abbas Kiarostami, a notable figure of Art Cinema. The analytical approach suggested here can further be applied to the works of many other Art Cinema auteurs, and, by extension, to other cinematic modes as well, for a better understanding of the functions, implications, and consequences of various forms of silence in the cinema. Chapter 1 provides a working and pragmatic description of silence, applicable to both film and other communicative forms of art. Chapter 2 represents a historical study of some of the major writings about silence in the cinema. Chapter 3 introduces, exemplifies, and analyzes the acoustic silences in the films of Kiarostami, including the five categories of complete , partial (uncovered; covered with noise, music, or perspective), character/dialogue , language , and music silences. Chapter 4 introduces the concept of meta-silence and its trans-sensorial perceptions in communication and in arts, and then defines the four categories of the visual , character/image , narrative , and political silences in Kiarostami’s oeuvre.

  • The Imaginal World and Modern Oblivion: Kiarostami's Zig-Zag1
    Filozofski vestnik | Volume XXXVII | Number 2 | 2016 | 21–58 Joan Copjec* The Imaginal World and Modern Oblivion: Kiarostami’s Zig-Zag1 A1 zigzag path carved into a hill winds from base to crest, where it is crowned by a lushly-leafed tree standing solitary and upright like a kind of hieratic bouquet: this image recurs in three ¨lms – Where Is the Friend’s House? (1987); Life and Nothing More (1992); and Through the Olive Trees (1994) – which critics refer to as “the Koker trilogy,” simply because they are all set in the same location, the village of Koker in Northern Iran. Easily mistaken for a “found” image, part of the natural geography of the ¨lms’ actual setting, the recurrence of the image would seem to raise no questions nor require explanation. And yet there can be no confusing this image with natural geography, for as we learn from in- terviews, the ¨lms’ director, Abbas Kiarostami, did not just stumble upon this peculiar landscape while scouting locations. He had his ¨lm crew carve the pro- nounced zigzag path into the hill. An articial landscape, then, inserted by Kiarostami into the natural setting, it replicates, as it turns out, a miniature found in a manuscript executed at Shiraz in southern Persia at the end of the fourteenth century.2 In the miniature, just as in the Koker trilogy, a sinuous path curls up the side of a hill atop which sprouts a single, °owering tree. This miniature graces the cover of Spiritual Body and Celestial Earth, a book on Islamic philosophy in which the book’s author, the in°uential Iranologist,

From Tunis to Belgium with Ghalia Benali Interviewed by Huda Asfour Where is the Revolution: An Interview with Abbas Kiarostami Like Share 1K people like this. Sign Up to see what your friends like. Tweet by Shiva Rahbaran Sep 07 2016 Listen Abbas Kiarostami agreed to give an interview only reluctantly. I reminded him insistently that the absence of a filmmaker with whom film is supposed to end (see below), would be catastrophic for a project whose subject is post-revolutionary New Iranian Cinema. Eventually, he agreed. Sitting across from me, he grins ironically. Kiarostami says that ever since Alberto Elena decided to quote Jean-Luc Godard, “Film begins with D.W. Griffith and ends with Abbas Kiarostami,” on the cover of his monograph The Cinema of Abbas Kiarostami,[1] that remark is mentioned every time someone says or publishes anything about Kiarostami. He is at pains to point out that Godard made this statement only in relation to Life, and Nothing More (1992), also known as And Life Goes On, the second part of [Abbas Kiarostami. Image by Mohammad Hassanzadeh via Kiarostami’s Earthquake Trilogy, which is also known as the Koker Trilogy Wikipedia] (the other two parts being Where is the Friend’s Home? (1987) and Through the Olive Trees (1994)). However, Kiarostami explains, the statements that Godard has made about him in the last ten or fifteen years clearly show that Godard no longer believes that film ends with Kiarostami.
