This documentary by Jean-Pierre Limosin was broadcast as the November 28, 1994, episode of the French television show “Cinéma, de notre temps.” Featuring footage of Abbas Kiarostami returning to the Koker region, it chronicles the director's career to that point, including development of THE KOKER TRILOGY.
In this new interview, scholar Hamid Naficy, author of the multivolume “A Social History of Iranian Cinema,” discusses THE KOKER TRILOGY director Abbas Kiarostami's influences and his importance to the rise of what has come to be known as the New Iranian Cinema.
