Final Draft: Abbas Kiarostami on Film

In this interview, Abbas Kiarostami reflected on why life itself inspired him more than anything else, his journey as a filmmaker and an artist, and the legacy he wanted to leave behind.
Abbas Kiarostami visited the IU Cinema in April 2014 for several public events and an onstage interview as part of the Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker Series.
This interview was originally released as “Abbas Kiarostami - An IU Cinema Exclusive.” Final Draft is IU Cinema’s exclusive interview series with cinematic luminaries. Find the full playlist here: • Final Draft

I always felt that about him and his movies inspires me. Every time I see his work, I become a better human being.

[@zarathustra8789]

And I believe that is the goal of his films. As one character says in "Life and Nothing More": "Art is supposed to rejuvenate people, not to make us decrepit". Truly inspiring filmmaker and artist.

I was watching a documentary on Charlie Chaplin, where I saw this director for the first time, and wanted to find out more about him and his work.

Summary of most of his interviews: Find (perceive or understand) subjects from your surroundings or what is happening around you all.
