10 on Ten
Distinguished Iranian auteur Abbas Kiarostami has generously decided to reveal his current ideas on the creative processes of his filmmaking by taking us on a road trip to Tehran and eloquently proffering wisdom from the wheel of his car (shot on his preferred mini DV camera). Using illustrative examples from his feature Ten (screened at AFF 03), the ten lessons of introduction, camera, topic, screenplay, locations, music, the actor, the accessories, the film director, and the last lesson will inspire and inform.
Reviews
“Attention aspiring arthouse filmmakers: forget wasteful, formal education and get thee to a screening of 10 on Ten, the directorial master class presented by Iranian master Abbas Kiarostami.”
Adam Nayman, Eye Weekly
“This brand of guerrilla filmmaking and anti-technique is both inspiring and liberating, and its champion is undeniably a model of success of a different kind. The power of American movies may, as he says, be greater and more problematic than its military might. 10 on Ten aims to present an alternative.”
