Table of Contents

  • Editorial, by Sajid Rizvi
  • Abbas Kiarostami -- The Artist and the Visionary, by Geoff Andrew | Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami’s talent encompasses different genres and yet it never fails to touch the heart of the matter, says the London film critic
  • Pulling Focus on Kiarostami’s Iran, by Roxanne Varzi | Abbas Kiarostami’s imagery is marked by an abundance of colour or poetical portrayals of the visually stunning Caspian region and other rural places seemingly untouched by revolution, war and mourning. Do his films gloss over the stark realities of Iran?
  • New Iranian Cinema, Kiarostami and Western Audiences, by Roya Shahr-Yazdi | International (and mainly western) audiences tend to see many layers of meaning in Abbas Kiarostami’s films. This tendency, or interaction, carries risks and rewards
  • Kiarostami at Home and Abroad, by Janet Lazarian | International plaudits are well and good but Abbas Kiarostami’s most precious constituency remains at home, among Iranians who may not see all of his oeuvre
  • Kiarostami and the Arab Middle East, by Lulu M Al Sabah | There is much to be shared by Iranian filmmakers such as Kiarostami and Arab auteurs and audiences, but many hurdles mar exchange, dialogue and distribution of films from the region
Plus regular features including …
  • Book reviews: The Secret of Laughter: Magical Tales from Classical Persia, by Shirley Rizvi; Women And Media In The Middle East: Power Through Self-expression, by Sajid Rizvi; and 100 Myths About The Middle East, by Sajid Rizvi.
