The cinephile community knows Abbas Kiarostami (1940-2016) as one
of the most important filmmakers of the previous decades. This
volume illustrates why the Iranian filmmaker achieved critical
acclaim around the globe and details his many contributions to the
art of filmmaking. Kiarostami began his illustrious career in his
native Iran in the 1970s, although European and American audiences
did not begin to take notice until he released his 1987 feature
Where's the Friend's House? His films defy established conventions,
placing audiences as active viewers who must make decisions about
actions and characters while watching the narratives unfold. He
asks viewers to question the genre construct (Close-Up) and
challenges them to determine how to watch and imagine a narrative
(Ten and Shirin). In recognition for his approach to the craft,
Kiarostami was awarded many honors during his lifetime, including
the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 for Taste of
Cherry. In Abbas Kiarostami: Interviews, editor Monika Raesch
collects eighteen interviews (several translated into English for
the first time), lectures, and other materials that span
Kiarostami's career in the film industry. In addition to exploring
his expertise, the texts provide insight into his life philosophy.
This volume offers a well-rounded picture of the filmmaker through
his conversations with journalists, film scholars, critics,
students, and audience members.
