Iranian Film Fest: Take Me Home & 76 Minutes and 15 Seconds w/ Abbas Kiarostami

Iran | 92 min | NR | DCP | Dir. Abbas Kiarostami and Seyfolah Samadian

TAKE ME HOME is engaging as a film and satisfying as a multimedia piece of art. In Southern Italy, a little boy drops his football at the top of a narrow stone stairway outside his home, As the ball bounces downwards, our eyes are drawn along with it, in an endless rhythm from side to side, as it travels to the bottom. Each perfectly framed tableau could stand as an individual piece of artwork.

76 MINUTES AND 15 SECONDS WITH ABBAS KIAROSTAMI is documentary about the legendary film maker Abbas Kiarostami. A photographer and long time friend of Kiarostami, Seyfolah Samadian has put together some footage of his moments with Kiarostami, his travel photography, film making etc.

*Screening is presented in collaboration with the UW Persian Student Society and the Middle Eastern Studies Program.

This event is intended for UW-Madison students, faculty, staff and Union members and guests.
