Asian Film Archive (AFA) is celebrating the works of Iranian film director Abbas Kiarostami at Oldham Theatre, where it will screen eight feature films, four short features and 12 short films, including rarely-seen early short films made during pre-revolution Iran as well as brand new restorations – in 2K and 4K, no less. Look forward to renowned works such as Close-up and Palme d’Or-winning Taste of Cherry.
This is the first time a retrospective of the late visionary filmmaker has been presented in Singapore. Before his untimely death in 2016, he was considered by many cinephiles to be among the world's greatest living filmmakers, and his films make for an excellent introduction to the vibrant world of Iranian cinema. Observe how he brilliantly experimented with the boundaries between reality and fiction with Retrospective: Abbas Kiarostami.
Tickets will go on sale on Monday, July 5 after 6pm on AFA's Peatix Page.
