Director, Producer, Screenwriter, Cinematographer, Actor, Editor Born: June 22, 1940 Biography:One of the most visionary figures in international cinema, Iranian director "Abbas Kiarostami" makes films that both challenge viewers' expectations of modern filmmaking and expound a deeply humanist philosophy. Using a deceptive simplicity to explore very complex issues, Kiarostami stresses the importance of material over technique. Taking his inspiration and story ideas from the people around him and the observations of everyday life, and stressing a natural, improvisational approach from his actors, he has said, "I think that technique for technique's sake is a big lie, as it doesn't answer real feelings and real needs."
Born in Tehran on June 22, 1940, Kiarostami made his directing and screenwriting debut in 1970 with Nan va Koutcheh/The Bread and Alley. He first earned international acclaim and recognition in 1987 with "Where is the Friend's Home?", the story of a child's self-imposed journey... Full Biography
