Two films by award-winning Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami are scheduled to give their UK premi in London on December 7.
Preceded by an introduction by film critic Geoff Andrew, Kiarostami's double bill consists of the screening of Roads of Kiarostami and Five.
Elegantly shot in black and white, Roads of Kiarostami is a meditation on the nature of journeys and the landscapes that contextualize them.
Kiarostami combines his own photographs of roads winding through the Iranian countryside and images of his car meandering through the mountains with his voice-over musings of Persian poetry.
The director's Five uses single, static shots to observe the passing of time and the nature of landscape on the shores of the Caspian Sea in five separate sequences.
A carefully orchestrated soundtrack of natural noise accompanies the contemplative visuals, which organically produce a narrative through the objects and animals that pass before the camera, press tv said.
Kiarostami is a filmmaker, painter, designer and photographer, who has received many prestigious international awards, including the 1997 Cannes Golden Palm award and the 2008 Glory to the Filmmaker award of Venice Film Festival.
