Close Up on Abbas Kiarostami ⁄ Cinemaximiliaan ⁄ 90' ⁄ EN ⁄ 90

Conversation in English between Rola Zamzameh (journalist and filmmaker), Gawan Fagard (scolar) and Maryam K. Hedayat (filmmaker).

Since the Islamic revolution in 1979, a strict political regime effected Iranian cinema by imposing a strong censorship which forced filmmakers to adapt their work. Probably the most internationally acclaimed director who gained international fame during this period is Abbas Kiarostami. Based on his early pre-Islamic revolution work, this symposium takes a look at Kiarostami’s artistic evolution…

Shelley Duvall

10.10 > 02.11

This October at Cineflagey, we pay tribute to American actress Shelley Duvall, who passed away last July. She was, of course, best known for her role as Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick’s Shining, whose restored extended version we are screening. However, she began her career with Robert Altman, for whom Duvall was a true muse, as evidenced by the seven films they made together. We'll concentrate on
two Altman films in which she played the lead role. Thieves Like Us, a masterful variation on Bonnie & Clyde, Three Women, for which Duvall won the Best Actress award at Cannes.
