Abbas Kiarostami Begins Shooting in the Summer
March 14th, 2005 by Andre Soares
The Tehran Times reports that director Abbas Kiarostami is planning to shoot his next film in the summer in Italy. Kiarostami refused to elaborate about his future project because the contracts haven’t been signed.
The Iranian director is currently in Rome promoting his latest (co-)directorial effort, Tickets, an English-language feature that follows various train travelers throughout Europe. The film is divided in three segments, each with its own director: Kiarostami, Britain’s Ken Loach, and Italy’s Ermanno Olmi.
Tickets, which stars Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Blerta Cahani, Martin Compston, Sanije Dedja, Carlo Delle Piane, Silvana De Santis, Aishe Gjuriqi, Gary Maitland, and Klajdi Qorraj, opens in Italy on March 25.
