UK to host Kiarostami photos

London is to host photo gallery of late Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami's works.

Cama Gallery in London is to display pictures of Kiarostami during a photo exhibition.

The gallery dubbed as 'Photographer Filmmakers' is slated for September 7, 2018.

Kiarostami has won many awards including the Palme d'Or he snatched at the Cannes Festival in 1997 for his film ‘Taste of Cherry’.

The late writer-director has been widely hailed as a pioneer of the Iranian New Wave.

He is mostly known as a screenwriter, film editor, art director and producer as well as a poet, photographer, painter, illustrator, and graphic designer.

The veteran Iranian filmmaker who passed away on July 4, 2016, following a heart attack at the age of 76, was honored at about 300 film events around the world.
