Matthew Rankin is a Canadian filmmaker who hails from Winnipeg, Manitoba. His work, which includes the acclaimed award-winning 2019 feature The Twentieth Century, has often been called 'experimental' or a slice of 'absurdist comedy'. That's partially true, but I'd go a step further and say that there's a touch of humanist storytelling to his work, one that's crafted from a globalist perspective. That mindset is accentuated with Rankin's latest film, the tender and superb Universal Language, a Canadian film where characters speak in Persian rather than English or French, where a guide shows a group of bored tourists the banal sites of Winnipeg, where turkey shop owners wear pink cowboy hats, and where two young kids, Negin (played by Rojinia Esmaeili) and Nazgol (played by Saba Vahedyousefi), find money frozen in ice and seek a way to retrieve it so they can buy their classmate a new pair of glasses.This is our world knocked off its axis ever so slightly. It's a place which is familiar, yet distinctly different. It's a place where cemeteries sit in the desolate concrete islands that exist within a sea of swarming highways. It's a place that, for Matthew Rankin, is a version of home. The choice to present a Canadian story in Persian is not accidental, but instead it's one that's driven by Rankin's affection for the work of the Iranian masters and for their distinctly considered perspective of the world. That kindness that sits at the core of Universal Language is a reflection of the innocence and kindness within the world of filmmakers like Abbas Kiarostami, particularly in a noted work like 1987's Where Is the Friend's House?, which sees a young boy trying to return the book of his classmate who lives on the other side of the village.The foundation of kindness is one of the notions that is explored in the following conversation with Matthew, recorded ahead of Universal Language's national release in Australia on 22 May 2025. Throughout the interview, Matthew also talks about his journey into appreciating and valuing Iranian cinema, an affection which lead him to learn Farsi. Matthew also talks about the way his parents factor into Universal Language as a mirrored presence, before closing on the emotionality of bringing a version of their story to life on screen.Universal Language is a work of pure kindness and comedy. There's a sweetness to it that makes the film feel like an antidote to the times we are currently living through.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Way back when the show relaunched in 2020, we had planned on covering Abbas Kiarostami's Palme d'Or winning Taste of Cherry but I was overruled by my then cohosts who, at the time, were not terribly taken with the film. Now almost five years later, I'm excited to return to it with an even greater appreciation of it. I'm also delighted to be joined on this episode by my internet friend, film historian, critic, and podcaster Marta Djordjevic. Her former podcast, McFly's Movie House, is a treasure trove of insights and appreciation for cinema and a great way to build your watchlist. She's also a huge Kiarostami fan, with Taste of Cherry being one of her favorite films. **In this episode we do cover the topic of suicide, if you didn't watch or look up the movie**We also talk about the three arguments against it that the film depicts: community, morality, and beauty, we look at Kiarostami's career arc and personal style, why sometimes stories with harsh or challenging content can become comfort viewing for some, and more!Tune in next week for a back to back Substantive Cinema with Canadian ladies in the film world when actress Romina D'Ugo joins us to talk about her recent film I Like Movies.Substantive Cinema Episode ListShoutoutsNTS RadioHaruFollow MartaWebsiteInstagramLetterboxdSubstackFollow UsInstagramPhilip's LetterboxdShare Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

Francesco Occhetto, Faezeh Mardani"Poeti Iraniani"Dal 1921 a oggiMondadori Editorewww.mondadori.ithttps://www.oscarmondadori.it/libri/poeti-iraniani-aa-vv/Paese delle cupole celesti, di profeti e sfarzosi sovrani, di deserti e di lussureggianti giardini, terra di santi, carovanieri e astronomi, l'Iran è noto in Occidente o per il suo passato leggendario oppure per il suo drammatico presente. Echi di un mondo fiabesco da Mille e una notte si sono mescolati, nell'immaginario collettivo, con scene tratte dai reportage di viaggi esotici facendo – di quella iraniana – una cultura tanto idealizzata quanto, nel profondo, poco conosciuta. Tutti da scoprire, per i lettori italiani, sono sia lo speciale rapporto che lega gli iraniani alla poesia (la poesia tout court ma anche la tradizione classica di Firdusi, Hafez, Sa'di, Rumi, Khayyam, ‘Attar, per fare solo qualche nome) sia il fondamentale contributo che l'Iran ha dato alla lirica del Novecento – in termini ora di opposizione ora di testimonianza dei profondi mutamenti politico-culturali che hanno segnato la storia del Paese. Sono trascorsi poco più di cento anni dalla nascita della Poesia nuova, il movimento poetico che nel 1921 portò la letteratura dell'Iran ad aprirsi al mondo entrando nella modernità. Un secolo che questa antologia documenta allineando i dodici poeti più rappresentativi, con i loro volti, le biografie, i versi. Dal fondatore della Poesia nuova, Nima Yushij, alla voce sperimentale e innovativa del poeta-profeta Ahmad Shamlu, il cui grido contro la corruzione e la censura ha scosso le coscienze; da Ziya' Movahhed, con la sua scrittura minimale, limpida ed euritmica, a Garous Abdolmalekian, interprete di una vibrante poesia civile. Da Shafiei Kadkani, grande esperto di retorica classica che, sulla scia di Akhavan Sales e Sohrab Sepehri, fonde la tradizione letteraria con le più amare riflessioni contemporanee, a Seyyed ‘Ali Salehi, fautore della Poesia parlata. Imprescindibile presenza è quella della libera e personalissima testimonianza di Forugh Farrokhzad, la cui poetica intimista e spregiudicata dà voce alle emozioni e alla determinazione di una giovane donna in cerca di libertà espressiva; e poi, ancora, si va dal poliedrico cineasta Abbas Kiarostami, all'art pour l'art di Bijan Jalali e Yadollah Royai che, distaccandosi dall'impegno civile, si concentrano sulla resa estetica e filosofica del testo attraverso lo sperimentalismo. Una galleria di figure poetiche diversissime tra loro, per intonazione e generazione, qui convocate a rappresentare la voce di un intero popolo. Lo scrive Kiarostami: «Dalla feroce sorte / il rifugio è poesia / dalla crudele amata / il rifugio è poesia / dalla palese tirannia / il rifugio è poesia».IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Abbas Kiarostami is a man who understands the intimacy of a conversation in the front seat of a car. While Taste of Cherry (1997), which we watch way back at Spine 45 is the pinnacle of that truth, Certified Copy (2010) has plenty of driving and talking before it settles into sight seeing and talking. To keep things interesting, Certified Copy is a sort of surrealist drama, with the relationship between the two parties in this extended conversation in a slow flux, from strangers to estranged spouses in the course of an afternoon. Also on the Criterion disc is an early Kiarostami work, The Report (1977), also dealing with a couple becoming estranged, but this time against the backdrop of bureaucratic corruption in pre-revolution Iran. We talk about both films this week, as well as the nature of communication both within the films and to us as viewers when we're dealing with subtitle tracks that aren't great.
Voltamos a fazer mais um dicas triplas e desta vez Alexandre e Fred recebem o colaborador e jornalista Tony Vendramini para debater três ótimos filmes, possivelmente esquecidos ou desconhecidos do cinéfilo: o filme iraniano “O Viajante” (Mossafer, 1974), de Abbas Kiarostami, o clássico inglês dirigido pelo americano John Huston, “O Homem Que Queria Ser Rei” (The Man Who Would Be King, 1975) e por fim o brasileiro “Iracema, Uma Transa Amazônica” (1975), dirigido pela dupla Jorge Bodanzky e Orlando Senna, em plena ditadura no país.

Documentary filmmaker Lance Oppenheim, as well as sound supervisor and re-recording mixer Paul Hsu, join us to discuss their new HBO documentary limited-series, “Ren Faire.” The show details the Succession-like power struggle atop the Texas Renaissance Festival, amid its founder's impending retirement. It was filmed in an appropriately over-the-top theatrical style, and features some incredible sonic world-building, which — in true Lance Oppenheim style — very cleverly mixes real and fantastical elements... often leaving the line between the two quite grey.“I've always been obsessed with Abbas Kiarostami's movies and ‘Close-Up,' which is very formally different than this, but the idea with that film was embracing reenactments, embracing performance, as a form of truth. And to me, with this project, everything you're seeing on the screen is real. But I wanted to also acknowledge that the moment you drop a camera anywhere, you violate the reality. So it's absurd. All of it's absurd. Documentary filmmaking is absurd. Nonfiction storytelling is absurd. So if we can acknowledge that, can we push past it and find something new?”—Lance Oppenheim, Director, Writer, and Executive Producer, “Ren Faire”This conversation was recorded in-person, in front of a live audience at Dolby's screening room in mid-town Manhattan, as part of our ongoing collaboration with the Artist Academy and Film at Lincoln Center.Be sure to check out “Ren Faire,” with all three episodes now streaming on Max.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Institute and check out Dolby.com.

Jude Chehab is a young filmmaker whose first feature film, Q, has cemented her in lists of best new directors to watch. Q is a beautifully shot and intimate portrait of Jude's mother's relationship to an all-female religious group in Lebanon. It has won multiple awards, including at the Tribeca Film Festival, and is being lauded for being a genre-breaking documentary film. She tells us how she learned to weave a story that retains some level of mystery, but is grounded in humanity—as she learned from one of her teachers in film, the legendary Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami.You can learn more about Jude's work at www.judechehab.com.To fill out our listener survey, go to agakhanmuseum.org/tbhsurvey.If you enjoyed this episode and want to learn more, go to agakhanmuseum.org/thisbeinghumanSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
durée : 01:27:12 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Albane Penaranda - Qu'est-ce qu'un grand cinéaste ? Sans doute celui qui sait filmer l'universel dans la singularité d'un peuple. En 1997, le cinéaste iranien Abbas Kiarostami obtient la Palme d'Or à Cannes pour "Le Goût de la Cerise". L'émission "Ciné-club" lui consacre un numéro la même année. - invités : Abbas Kiarostami Cinéaste
There are many ways to make a movie. Only a few of those ways fit within the Hollywood mold. We believe that rather than taking pop culture as their sole model, Catholics and Catholic filmmakers should be open to a wide variety of artistic approaches. Thus, in this episode James and Thomas discuss the early career of the great Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami, who came up with an approach to filmmaking that is not just different from Hollywood, but different from anyone else in world cinema. Kiarostami spent the first two decades of his career working for the Center for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults in Tehran, making a plethora of fascinating movies either for or about children (fiction, documentary, and educational). In addition to exploring his concerns with childhood and education, he developed a great ability to direct non-professional actors and this allowed him to blur the line between documentary and fiction in his later films - or, perhaps, just to be honest about how human behavior is affected by the presence of a camera, even in a documentary setting. If you only watch one of the films discussed in this episode, you might pick his 1987 feature Where Is the Friend's Home?, an beautifully simple story about childhood, friendship and conscience. Through its patient attention to detail, this film allows us to rediscover a child's-eye perspective on the world. Where Is the Friend's Home? is the first in a sort of trilogy of films Kiarostami shot in the region of Koker in northern Iran. That first installment, while one of his best works, is not actually typical of the unique style he developed soon after, which can be seen even within the trilogy itself. The simplicity of the first story is succeeded by two films that take on multiple perspectives and blur the line between fiction and real life. In a word, things get meta. In the second film, …And Life Goes On, the director of the first film (played by an actor, not the real director) and his young son search for the two boys who acted in the first film, after the Koker region was devastated by a real-life earthquake that killed 50,000 people. Investigating real-life events through a fictional road trip, we get a new perspective on the simple fictional perspective of the first movie. The third film, Through the Olive Trees, gets very complex (but in a most entertaining way). While shooting a scene in the second film, Kiarostami noticed some tension between the two young actors playing a married couple. So he invented a love story about these two actors, and the third film is about this story that takes place while that scene from the second film was being shot. Shot, we should add, by a director who is directing scenes involving the character of the “director” from the 2nd film – so we have two different actors playing directors, both of which represent the real director, Kiarostami. As avant-garde as this sounds, it's a highly entertaining story that never could have been done as well by a director hewing to commercial instincts.

Having amassed more than 100 episodes in its run, PACCTS' sixth season will focus its sights on “the greatest films of all time” (both in the US and internationally), as assembled by the British Film Institute's 2022 Sight and Sound Poll of industry critics. Corey will be choosing American films from the list, and Paul will be choosing international ones. Our goal is to examine the films that are considered great, and why that may be the case. (fanfare) For our hundredth film, Paul chose the film that made Abbas Kiarostami an international star, Where Is the Friend's House? (1987), ranked at number 157. A simple, yet profound, story of an eight-year-old boy trying to return his friend a notebook, Where Is the Friend's House? can only be described as a perfect film. Paul and Corey discuss Kiarostami and his place within the Iranian New Wave and themes of duty, obedience, and love. You simply have to watch this film.
Our patrons said we must stay in Tuscany! This week, we've got another Patreon Selects episode and it has us talking about one of our least favorite Oscar years.

Um dos maiores expoentes do prolífico cinema iraniano foi Abbas Kiarostami, que desenvolveu sua obra por décadas, tanto em seu país como em outros. Sua sensibilidade marcante está no seu olhar poético sobre a realidade, na busca por uma abordagem pessoal e fora do cânone. Seus filmes surpreendem devido à estrutura dada às histórias e à consequente forma como interagimos com o resultado apresentado. Neste episódio, Hugo e Henrique convidam o jornalista Tony Vendramini para falar de três títulos essenciais do cinema de Kiarostami: “Onde fica a casa de meu amigo?”, “E a vida continua...

The cinephile community knows Abbas Kiarostami (1940–2016) as one of the most important filmmakers of the previous decades. This volume illustrates why the Iranian filmmaker achieved critical acclaim around the globe and details his many contributions to the art of filmmaking. Kiarostami began his illustrious career in his native Iran in the 1970s, although European and American audiences did not begin to take notice until he released his 1987 feature Where's the Friend's House? His films defy established conventions, placing audiences as active viewers who must make decisions about actions and characters while watching the narratives unfold. He asks viewers to question the genre construct (Close-Up) and challenges them to determine how to watch and imagine a narrative (Ten and Shirin). In recognition for his approach to the craft, Kiarostami was awarded many honors during his lifetime, including the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 for Taste of Cherry. In Abbas Kiarostami: Interviews (UP of Mississippi, 2023) ,editor Monika Raesch collects eighteen interviews (several translated into English for the first time), lectures, and other materials that span Kiarostami's career in the film industry. In addition to exploring his expertise, the texts provide insight into his life philosophy. This volume offers a well-rounded picture of the filmmaker through his conversations with journalists, film scholars, critics, students, and audience members. Monika Raesch is associate professor of film studies and video production at Suffolk University. A native of Germany, she is editor of Margarethe von Trotta: Interviews, published by University Press of Mississippi, and author of The Kiarostami Brand: Creation of a Film Auteur. Her work has appeared in such publications as the Journal of Film and Video and Feminist Media Studies. Kaveh Rafie is a PhD candidate specializing in modern and contemporary art at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His dissertation charts the course of modern art in the late Pahlavi Iran (1941-1979) and explores the extent to which the 1953 coup marks the recuperation of modern art as a viable blueprint for cultural globalization in Iran.

Intriguing, enthralling, enigmatic and ultimately moving, words that go some ways towards describing this month's pick, CERTIFIED COPY (2010). Directed by Abbas Kiarostami and starring Juliette Binoche and William Shimmel, the film depicts two people with an undetermined relationship to one another as they spend the day in Tuscany. And so questions arise: What is the exact nature of their relationship? Does objective truth exist? And does it matter if it does? ubscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Android.
