Spanning the entirety of Kiarostami’s nearly five-decade filmmaking career, this retrospective series encompasses both the director’s early short films for children and his midcareer masterpieces, like the celebrated Koker Trilogy and Cannes Palme d’Or winner Taste of Cherry. It also includes experimental features, like 24 Frames – featured as part of OKCMOA’s Beyond the Frame exhibition – that bring together his work in cinema and photography, as well as later romantic dramas like Certified Copy that were filmed outside of Iran.
Join us on Thursday evenings in the Noble Theater to experience the extraordinary scope and vision of one of the late 20th and early 21st century’s most influential and beloved filmmakers. Tickets to Kiarostami Film Retrospective screenings are free for OKCMOA members and with same-day museum or Art After 5 admission. Visit the admissions desk or the theater box office to purchase tickets.
