'24 Frames' to vie in Denmark

Iran film '24 Frames' has been set to be screened at Denmark’s Film Institute during a festival of Iranian films.

Directed by late Abbas Kiarostami, the flick is to represent Iran at the Danish film event, which is slated for April 15-28, 2018.

Directed by late Abbas Kiarostami, ‘24 Frames’ is a response to the paintings and photographs that inspired him, prompted by the desire to hold the frame steady so as to watch each image come to life, and each drama to play on.

It is austerely experimental and demands tolerance as well as engagement to grab something rich and strange in the man’s unconscious mind.

Audaciously, and posthumously, the director has even found a way to make a bonus of his hated cinema seats. Kiarostami has gone, but the work lives on.

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

Kiarostami was a multitalented artist and an exceptional man who joyfully embraced life. He was the winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Festival in 1997 for his film ‘Taste of Cherry’, passing away on July 4, 2016.
