The cinephile community knows Abbas Kiarostami (19402016) 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 Wheres the Friends 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 (CloseUp) 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 Raeschcollects eighteen interviews (several translated into English for the first time), lectures, and other materials that span Kiarostamis career in the film industry. In addition to exploring his expertise, the texts provide insight into his life philosophy. This volume offers a wellrounded picture of the filmmaker through his conversations with journalists, film scholars, critics, students, and audience members.
