Abbas Kiarostami: A Transversal Filmography
Synopsis
'Abbas Kiarostami: a transversal filmography' is a video essay on the relationship between the different child and adolescent characters in the Iranian director's various films. What is proposed is a parallel montage, based on the raccord of delayed apprehension between the seven films used. In this way, we perceive the sensation of a single character progressing in a linear fashion through Kiarostami's different films. In which the work opaques the entire growth stage of the youngsters, passing from childhood to old age in the blink of an eye.
