Description
For what would prove to be his final film, Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami (Close‐up) gave himself a challenge: to create a dialogue between his work as a filmmaker and his work as a photographer, bridging the two art forms to which he had dedicated his life. Setting outto reconstruct the moments immediately before and after a photograph is taken, Kiarostami selected twenty‐four still images-most of them stark landscapes inhabited only by foraging birds and other wildlife-and digitally animated each one into its own subtly evolving four‐and‐a‐half‐minute vignette, creating a series of poignant studies in movement, perception, and time that is also a sustained meditation on the process of image making. 24 Frames is a graceful and elegiac farewell from one of the giants of world cinema.Features:2K digital master, with 5.1 surround DTS‐HD Master Audio soundtrackNew interview with director Abbas Kiarostami's son Ahmad Kiarostami, who helpedfinish the film after his father's deathNew conversation between Iranian film scholar Jamsheed Akrami and film criticGodfrey CheshireNew short documentary about the making of the film by Abbas Kiarostami collaboratorSalma MonshizadehTrailerPLUS: An essay by film critic Bilge Ebiri
