About the Course

Seeing ten films by Abbas Kiarostami, we’ll hone ways of imaging out of the repetition compulsion of crisis in capitalist modernity. We’ll focus primarily on the films, alongside interviews with Kiarostami and the most rigorous film theoretic engagement with his forms and concepts: inter alia, Giorgio Agamben, Joan Copjec, Youssef Ishaghpour, and Jean-Luc Nancy.
