    Abbas Kiarostami gilt als eine der bedeutendsten Figuren des zeitgenössischen Films, berühmt für seinen einzigartigen autorschaftlichen Ansatz. Seine Werke, die oft aus dem Alltag und menschlichen Beziehungen schöpfen, zeichnen sich durch poetische Beobachtung und tiefe Introspektion aus.

Sein lebenslanger Glaube an die Kraft der Kunst und die Kreativität des Geistes hat seinen unverwechselbaren Stil geprägt und einen unauslöschlichen Eindruck im Filmschaffen hinterlassen.

      Is psychoanalysis possible in the Islamic Republic of Iran? This question drives Gohar Homayounpour's memoir of displacement, nostalgia, love, and pain. After twenty years abroad, the Iranian, Western-trained psychoanalyst returns to Tehran to establish her practice. When an American colleague doubts Iranians can free-associate, Homayounpour asserts that they do nothing but, as their culture is steeped in storytelling. This sets the stage for a rich narrative that mirrors a psychoanalytic session. Homayounpour shares the complexities of returning to her homeland, her admiration for Milan Kundera's work, and her intricate relationship with her father, who translated Kundera into Persian. She also explores the anxieties of influence and disobedience among Iranians. Interwoven are candid glimpses of her sometimes challenging sessions with patients: Ms. N, a renowned artist, grapples with abandonment; a young woman in a chador feels shame after losing her virginity; and a suicidal young man struggles with his desire to live. As a psychoanalyst, Homayounpour recognizes that each story shared often conceals another untold narrative. Through her work, she connects the spoken and unspoken experiences of ordinary Iranians, revealing the depth of their lives in the limited time of each session.

      Par un jour orageux de 2007, Abbas Kiarostami décide de s'échapper de Téhéran : " J'ai fait mon sac, sans oublier mon appareil photo et ma caméra numérique. La pluie tombe depuis hier soir, ponctuée d'éclairs, mais ce n'est pas ce qui va me faire changer d'avis, bien au contraire. " A l'abri dans l'habitacle de sa voiture, le cinéaste iranien prend à la volée des photos du paysage urbain et de la campagne. Cette série donne à voir, à travers le ruissellement de la pluie sur le pare-brise, des hautes silhouettes d'arbres dégoulinants, l'éclat tremblé des phares des voitures, ou encore, au bord de la route, un pan de mur jaune. Des images en couleurs, mais où dominent les gris et les noirs, et qui sont autant de tableaux. Cinéaste, photographe et poète, Abbas Kiarostami est né le 22 juin 1940 à Téhéran, Il est reconnu, depuis le début des années 1990, comme l'une des grandes figures du cinéma contemporain. Palme d'Or à Cannes en 1997 pour Le Goût de la cerise, il a reçu deux ans plus tard le Grand Prix spécial du jury à la Mostra de Venise pour Le vent nous emportera. Ses photographies ont été exposées dans le monde entier, notamment à Londres, au Victoria & Albert Museum et à New York, au MoMa, ou encore, en 2007-2008, au Centre Pompidou à Paris et dans cinq métropoles chinoises.

      In this groundbreaking anthology, Lila Azam Zanganeh explores the complexities of Iran, challenging the simplistic narratives that dominate American perceptions. Contributors like Azar Nafisi and Marjane Satrapi present a multifaceted view of a nation often misrepresented as either a member of the "axis of evil" or a place of youthful rebellion. This collection aims to dismantle cultural and political clichés, featuring diverse topics such as feminism, sexuality, and political dissent under the Islamic Republic. Reza Aslan clarifies that Iran is better described as a "mullahcracy" than a theocracy, while Mehrangiz Kar discusses how the Iranian Revolution sparked a feminist movement. Azadeh Moaveni uncovers Tehran's underground parties and sexual culture, and Gelareh Asayesh addresses the racial identity of Iranians in America. Naghmeh Zarbafian reflects on the experience of reading censored literature, and Roya Hakakian reminisces about the joyful past of Iranian Jews. With a compelling introduction by Zanganeh, this collection seeks to reshape understanding of Iran, revealing the intricate realities of its society—caught between political Islam, modern media, and stark social inequalities.
