Moscow is slated to screen late Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami’s movies.

Summer cinema Garage Screen is a summer event to screen prominent works by various artists, planning to display and review Kiarostami’s films as Iran’s representative.

Abbas Kiarostami was born on the first day of the Persian calendar month of Tir, which falls on Tuesday this year.
