Abbas Kiarostami Films at Pacific Film Archive
Bay Area - East Bay Saturday - August 4, 2007 06:30 PM
Pacific Film Archive Presents:
Abbas Kiarostami: Image Maker
July 7 – August 30, 2007
“We are living in the age of Kiarostami, but don’t yet know it.”—Werner Herzog
One of the most critically acclaimed and influential filmmakers of the past twenty-five years, Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami has captivated Western audiences with works of deceptive simplicity and indefinable poetry. We are proud to present this retrospective of his films, from early documentaries through his celebrated “Koker trilogy” and recent masterworks.
SATURDAY AUGUST 4
6:30 And Life Goes On
(Iran, 1992)
Kiarostami seeks to find out the fate of the now–earthquake devastated area of Koker and Poshteh from Where Is the Friend’s Home? and finds willing actors among the survivors. Repeated on Saturday, August 11.
8:30 Through the Olive Trees
(Iran, 1994)
The Koker trilogy’s last film, “which follows the misadventures of a crew shooting a film in rural Iran, at first seems to be a joke about the way life resists being turned into a movie, but it becomes a better joke about a movie that transforms life.”—New Yorker
The Pacific Film Archive Theater is located at 2575 Bancroft Way (at Bowditch) in Berkeley, CA. Advance tickets are available by calling (510) 642-5249. For more information, visit http://bampfa.berkeley.edu/filmseries
