Join us for a screening of Abbas Kiarostami's The Wind Will Carry US as part of our Movement and Landscape in Iranian Cinema film series.About this Event
A TV crew from Tehran arrives in a remote Kurdish village to film an unusual funeral ceremony but are stymied when the old woman they expect to die clings to life. A fablelike story about professional and personal frustration, this droll drama is the most tantalizingly opaque and allusive of Kiarostami’s films, containing numerous references to poetry and several key figures (including the old woman) who are never seen.
Before the screening, ISAC Research Associate Professor Abbas Alizadeh will introduce the film.
