Directed by Abbas Kiarostami

The first of three films known as Abbas Kiarostami’s Koker Trilogy, Where is the Friend's Home? is the rather simple story of an 8 year old boy who mistakenly takes a friend’s notebook and begins his quest to return it, as he knows that his friend will be punished for not having it. In an effort to infuse a sense of realism for the people in rural Iran, Kiarostami enlists non-actors to play the roles of all the school children. The result is an incredibly humanist, engaging and dramatic film. In Farsi language with English subtitles. (Digital presentation)

Due to a schedule change, director Abbas Kiarostami will not be present at this screening. He is now scheduled to be present for events on April 6 & 7.
