PÖFF 2016: 76 Minutes and 15 Seconds with Abbas Kiarostami

This documentary film reflects 76 minutes and 15 seconds of exceptional moments of Abbas Kiarostami’s daily life in respect of 76 years and 15 days of his fruitful and creative life in this material world.

The shots of the film are selected out of hundreds of hours of the material filmed during the past 25 years of friendship and numerous travels inside and outside Iran for various reasons like film festivals, photo exhibitions, photography sessions, artistic and social events and some exceptional private moments of Kiarostami’s daily life which I believe will help the spectators to be involved in the hidden aspects of his ideas, philosophy of life and his personal approach towards cinema, photography, poetry and the life itself.

Abbas Kiarostami's 15 minute long short film "Take Me Home" will be screened before the film. "Take Me Home" is one of the short films that will be included in Kiarostami's short film collection. The entire short film collection will premiere at the Cannes film festival next year.
