Palme d’Or-winning Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, best known for films like “Taste of Cherry” (which earned him the Cannes accolade in 1997), “Close-Up” and “Certified Copy,” has died. He was 76.[13]
The news was first reported by the Iranian Students’ New Agency (ISNA) on Monday afternoon, who wrote “Abbas Kiarostami, who had travelled to France for treatment, has died.” Other news outlets, including The Guardian, have also begun reporting the news.[13]

Born in 1940 in Tehran, the filmmaker first studied painting at the University of Tehran; later, he worked as a graphic designer and commercial director. Kiarostami credited a job in the film department at Kanun (the Centre for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults) for shaping him into a filmmaker.[13]
Celebrated Iranian Film Director
Abbas Kiarostami Dies at 76
He made his first feature, “The Report,” in 1977, just two years before the 1979 revolution that saw so many of his creative peers leave the country. Kiarostami, however, stayed and continued to create even under the constraints of the new regimen.[13]
In the late eighties, he embarked on what would become his Koker trilogy, starting with the 1987 feature “Where Is the Friend’s Home?” followed by “Life, And Nothing More…” in 1992 and “Through the Olive Trees” in 1994.[13]
The trilogy often blended fact with fiction, narrative with documentary, and made it clear that Kiarostami’s talents were obvious and his style was not easily labeled.[13]
In 1997, he won the Palme d’Or for his “Taste of Cherry,” which elevated the director to a new level of recognition that he had scarcely had in his already decades-long career. [13]
After “Cherry,” Kiarostami made a number of films that continued to speak to his ease with a variety of subjects and storytelling styles, including the documentaries “ABC Africa” and “10 on Ten” and narrative offerings like “Certified Copy,” “Shirin” and “Like Someone In Love.”[13]
Remembering Iranian film director
Abbas Kiarostami, Soraya Lennie reports
Along the way, Kiarostami was honored with awards as diverse as three more Palme d’Or nominations, an Indie Spirit nomination, Locarno’s Leopard of Honor and a Grand Special Jury Prize from the Venice Film Festival for his 1999 film “The Wind Will Carry Us.” [13]
Kiarostami was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just last week.[13]
Earlier this year, Kiarostami taught a 10-day short filmmaking workshop in Cuba, a rewarding experience that director Martin Snyder wrote was “a tremendous experience and gift” in a loving piece he penned for IndieWire.[13]
In March of this year, Kiarostami was hospitalized with intestinal bleeding, where he reportedly fell into a coma. [13]
In April, news circulated that the director was ill with gastrointestinal cancer, a claim that was was denied by his own medical team. Just two months later, however, Kiarostami traveled from Iran to Paris to receive treatment. He died in France.[13]
During his Cuban workshop, Kiarostami shared both practical and personal knowledge of his craft, but by its end, he had one simple message for his students: “I have nothing to teach you. The result is what was in you.”[13]

Martin Scorsese:
Abbas Kiarostami
WAS
One of Our Great Artists
Abbas Kiarostami, the critically acclaimed Iranian director whose 1997 film Taste of Cherry won the prestigious Palme d'Or, has died aged 76.[14]
Iran's official news agency IRNA said late on Monday that Kiarostami died in Paris, where he had gone for cancer treatment last week after undergoing surgery in Iran earlier this year.[14]
Kiarostami wrote and directed dozens of films, winning more than 70 awards over an illustrious career spanning more than 40 years.[14]
He was born in 1940 in Tehran and continued to work from Iran after the 1979 revolution, when many of his fellow artists fled the country.[14]
The influential auteur is possibly best remembered for his minimalist drama Taste of Cherry, which told the story of an Iranian man looking for someone to bury him after he killed himself, and won the top award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997.[14]
Among his other films was Close-Up from 1990, which told the true story of a man who impersonated a filmmaker and tricked a family into believing that he would put them in a film.[14]
His 1987 film Where is the Friend's Home? is a story of honour, about a boy who tries to return schoolwork to a friend.[14]
The 2000 film The Wind Will Carry Us is about journalists from a city who go to a village to write about the death of an old woman, but they have time to learn about and appreciate rural life as the woman lives longer than expected.[14]
American filmmaker Martin Scorsese also paid tribute to Kiarostami, describing him as "a true gentleman and, truly, one of our great artists".[14]
"I got to know Abbas over the last 10 or 15 years," he said. "He was a very special human being: quiet, elegant, modest, articulate and quite observant. I don't think he missed anything. Our paths crossed too seldom, and I was always glad when they did."[14]
Kiarostami is survived by two sons, Ahmad and Bahman Kiarostami, who work in multimedia and documentary film.[14]

The Piano was written and directed by Jane Campion, and stars Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill, and Anna Paquin in her first acting role. [11]
The film's score for the piano by Michael Nyman became a best-selling soundtrack album, and Hunter played her own piano pieces for the film.[11]
She also served as sign language teacher for Paquin, earning three screen credits. The film is an international co-production by Australian producer Jan Chapman with the French company Ciby 2000.[11]
The Heart Asks Pleasure First
The Piano was a success both critically and commercially, grossing $140 million worldwide[2][3] against its $7 million budget. [11]
Hunter and Paquin both received high praise for their respective roles as Ada McGrath and Flora McGrath. In 1993 the film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. [11]
Subsequently in March 1994, The Piano won 3 Academy Awards out of 8 total nominations: Best Actress for Hunter, Best Supporting Actress for Paquin, and Best Original Screenplay for Campion. [11]
Paquin, who at the time was 11 years old, is the second youngest Oscar winner ever in a competitive category, after Tatum O'Neal, who also won the Best Supporting Actress award in 1974 for Paper Moon, at 10.[11]
Writer/director Jane Campion's third feature unearthed emotional undercurrents and churning intensity in the story of a mute woman's rebellion in the recently colonized New Zealand wilderness of Victorian times. [12]
Ada McGrath (Holly Hunter), a mute who has willed herself not to speak, and her strong-willed young daughter Flora (Anna Paquin) find themselves in the New Zealand wilderness, with Ada the imported bride of dullard land-grabber Stewart (Sam Neill).[12]
Ada immediately takes a dislike to Stewart when he refuses to carry her beloved piano home with them. But Stewart makes a deal with his overseer.[12]
Palme d’Or-winning Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, best known for films like “Taste of Cherry” (which earned him the Cannes accolade in 1997), “Close-Up” and “Certified Copy,” has died. He was 76.[13]
The news was first reported by the Iranian Students’ New Agency (ISNA) on Monday afternoon, who wrote “Abbas Kiarostami, who had travelled to France for treatment, has died.” Other news outlets, including The Guardian, have also begun reporting the news.[13]

عباس کیارستمی در 76 سالگی درگذشت
Born in 1940 in Tehran, the filmmaker first studied painting at the University of Tehran; later, he worked as a graphic designer and commercial director. Kiarostami credited a job in the film department at Kanun (the Centre for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults) for shaping him into a filmmaker.[13]
Abbas Kiarostami Dies at 76
He made his first feature, “The Report,” in 1977, just two years before the 1979 revolution that saw so many of his creative peers leave the country. Kiarostami, however, stayed and continued to create even under the constraints of the new regimen.[13]
In the late eighties, he embarked on what would become his Koker trilogy, starting with the 1987 feature “Where Is the Friend’s Home?” followed by “Life, And Nothing More…” in 1992 and “Through the Olive Trees” in 1994.[13]
The trilogy often blended fact with fiction, narrative with documentary, and made it clear that Kiarostami’s talents were obvious and his style was not easily labeled.[13]
In 1997, he won the Palme d’Or for his “Taste of Cherry,” which elevated the director to a new level of recognition that he had scarcely had in his already decades-long career. [13]

Along the way, Kiarostami was honored with awards as diverse as three more Palme d’Or nominations, an Indie Spirit nomination, Locarno’s Leopard of Honor and a Grand Special Jury Prize from the Venice Film Festival for his 1999 film “The Wind Will Carry Us.” [13]
Earlier this year, Kiarostami taught a 10-day short filmmaking workshop in Cuba, a rewarding experience that director Martin Snyder wrote was “a tremendous experience and gift” in a loving piece he penned for IndieWire.[13]
In March of this year, Kiarostami was hospitalized with intestinal bleeding, where he reportedly fell into a coma. [13]
In April, news circulated that the director was ill with gastrointestinal cancer, a claim that was was denied by his own medical team. Just two months later, however, Kiarostami traveled from Iran to Paris to receive treatment. He died in France.[13]
During his Cuban workshop, Kiarostami shared both practical and personal knowledge of his craft, but by its end, he had one simple message for his students: “I have nothing to teach you. The result is what was in you.”[13]

Abbas Kiarostami, the critically acclaimed Iranian director whose 1997 film Taste of Cherry won the prestigious Palme d'Or, has died aged 76.[14]
Iran's official news agency IRNA said late on Monday that Kiarostami died in Paris, where he had gone for cancer treatment last week after undergoing surgery in Iran earlier this year.[14]
Kiarostami wrote and directed dozens of films, winning more than 70 awards over an illustrious career spanning more than 40 years.[14]
He was born in 1940 in Tehran and continued to work from Iran after the 1979 revolution, when many of his fellow artists fled the country.[14]
The influential auteur is possibly best remembered for his minimalist drama Taste of Cherry, which told the story of an Iranian man looking for someone to bury him after he killed himself, and won the top award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997.[14]
Among his other films was Close-Up from 1990, which told the true story of a man who impersonated a filmmaker and tricked a family into believing that he would put them in a film.[14]
His 1987 film Where is the Friend's Home? is a story of honour, about a boy who tries to return schoolwork to a friend.[14]
The 2000 film The Wind Will Carry Us is about journalists from a city who go to a village to write about the death of an old woman, but they have time to learn about and appreciate rural life as the woman lives longer than expected.[14]
American filmmaker Martin Scorsese also paid tribute to Kiarostami, describing him as "a true gentleman and, truly, one of our great artists".[14]
"I got to know Abbas over the last 10 or 15 years," he said. "He was a very special human being: quiet, elegant, modest, articulate and quite observant. I don't think he missed anything. Our paths crossed too seldom, and I was always glad when they did."[14]
Kiarostami is survived by two sons, Ahmad and Bahman Kiarostami, who work in multimedia and documentary film.[14]
