Men At Work: Cinematic Lessons From Abbas Kiarostami
What if you could take a Master Class from a Master of Cinema? In a new book, MahÂmoud Reza Sani takes us inside such a class. He allows us to sit in on the beginning days of a workshop taught by critically-acclaimed and award-winning direcÂtor Abbas Kiarostami (Taste of Cherry, CerÂtiÂfied Copy, Like SomeÂone in Love). In FebÂruÂary 2012, Abbas Kiarostami travÂeled to Spain to receive the Ibn-Arabi troÂphy for a lifeÂtime of artistic achievements. It was decided at that time that he would hold a 10 day film maker workshop for 35 students who had traveled from all over the world in eager anticipation to attend this once in a lifetime event. We join Kiarostami in class as he conÂverses with the stuÂdents and author. We lisÂten as Kiarostami remÂiÂnisces about some of his past expeÂriÂences and offers insight into his cinÂeÂmatic style. We learn as he advises the stuÂdents on how to shape their stoÂries and find their voice, not only in the world of film but also in their lives. The book also includes the foreÂword ‘Lessons of Refusal’ writÂten by famed French ScreenÂwriter Jean-Claude CarÂrière (DisÂcreet Charm of the BourÂgeoisie, Belle du Jour).
