Over the past two decades, the renowned Iranian film director Abbas Kiarostami, known for his acclaimed works such as Where is the Friend's House?, Life and Nothing More, Through the Olive Trees, Close Up, A Taste of Cherry, The Wind Will Carry Us, Ten, Shirin, Certified Copy, and Like Someone in Love, has become a regular presence at film festivals and university campuses. During these visits, he has dedicated several days to working closely with young filmmakers, guiding them through the creative process.
Kiarostami's approach has been hands-on, as he has sent these aspiring filmmakers out with cameras, only to later screen and discuss the results with them. Pieced together from notes made over a period of nearly ten years at several of these workshops, Lessons with Kiarostami is a distillation of Kiarostami's filmmaking techniques and working methods. More importantly, it serves as a series of practical guideposts for those who aspire to follow in his footsteps.
The book offers a unique insight into the mind of a master storyteller, providing aspiring filmmakers with a valuable resource that goes beyond the typical technical aspects of filmmaking. Kiarostami's teachings emphasize the importance of observation, simplicity, and the ability to find the extraordinary within the ordinary. He encourages his students to trust their instincts, to embrace the unexpected, and to approach their craft with a sense of curiosity and wonder.
Through Lessons with Kiarostami, readers are invited to witness the evolution of the director's thought process, from the initial conceptualization of a project to the final execution on the screen. The book delves into Kiarostami's unique approach to screenwriting, his handling of actors, and his keen eye for visual storytelling. It also explores his philosophical perspectives on the role of the filmmaker in society, the power of cinema to provoke and inspire, and the importance of maintaining artistic integrity in the face of commercial pressures.
One of the most striking aspects of Kiarostami's teachings is his emphasis on the collaborative nature of filmmaking. He believes that the director is not the sole author of a film, but rather the conductor of a symphony, guiding a team of talented individuals to bring a vision to life. This collaborative spirit is evident in the way he interacts with his students, fostering an environment of mutual respect and collective learning.
Lessons with Kiarostami is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of filmmaking, regardless of their level of experience. It offers a unique window into the mind of a cinematic master, and serves as a powerful testament to the transformative power of cinema. Through Kiarostami's teachings, aspiring filmmakers are encouraged to embrace their artistic voices, to challenge conventions, and to use their craft to capture the complexities and nuances of the human experience.
