Abbas (Persian: عباس ) (born in 1944) is an Iranian photographer known for his photojournalism in Biafra, Vietnam and South Africa in the 1970s, and for his extensive essays on religions in later years. He was a member of Sipa from 1971 to 1973, a member of Gamma (agency) from 1974 to 1980, and joined Magnum Photos in 1981.
Abbas, an Iranian transplanted to Paris, has dedicated his photographic work to the political and social coverage of the developing southern nations. Since 1970, his major works have been published in world magazines and includes wars and revolutions in Biafra, Bangladesh, Ulster, Vietnam, the Middle East, Chile, Cuba, and South Africa with an essay on apartheid.
From 1978 to 1980, he photographed the revolution in Iran, and returned in 1997 after a 17 years voluntary exile. His book iranDiary 1971-2002 (Autrement 2002) is a critical interpretation of its history, photographed and written as a personal diary.
From 1983 to 1986, he traveled in Mexico, photographing the country as if he were writing a novel. An exhibition and a book, Return to Mexico, journeys beyond the mask (W.W.Norton 1992), which includes his travel diaries, help him define his aesthetics in photography.
A film festival is an organized, extended presentation of films in one or more cinemas or screening venues, usually in a single city or region. Increasingly, film festivals show some films outdoors. Films may be of recent date and, depending upon the festival's focus, can include international and domestic releases. Some festivals focus on a specific film-maker or genre (e.g., film noir) or subject matter (e.g., horror film festivals). A number of film festivals specialise in short films of a defined maximum length. Film festivals are typically annual events. Some film historians do not consider Film Festivals as official releases of film, like Jerry Beck. The best known film festivals are the Venice Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival, and the Berlin International Film Festival, the latter being the largest film festival worldwide, based on attendance. The Venice Film Festival is the oldest major festival. The Melbourne International Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Southern Hemisphere and one of the oldest in the world. A 2013 study found 3,000 active films festivals worldwide—active defined as having held an event in the previous 24 months.
Abbas Kiarostami (Persian: عباس کیارستمی pronunciation ; born 22 June 1940) is an Iranian film director, screenwriter, photographer and film producer. An active filmmaker since 1970, Kiarostami has been involved in over forty films, including shorts and documentaries. Kiarostami attained critical acclaim for directing the Koker trilogy (1987–94), Close-Up (1990), Taste of Cherry (1997) – which was awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival that year – and The Wind Will Carry Us (1999). In his recent works, Certified Copy (2010) and Like Someone in Love (2012), he filmed for the first time outside Iran: in Italy and Japan, respectively.
Kiarostami has worked extensively as a screenwriter, film editor, art director and producer and has designed credit titles and publicity material. He is also a poet, photographer, painter, illustrator, and graphic designer. He is part of a generation of filmmakers in the Iranian New Wave, a Persian cinema movement that started in the late 1960s and includes pioneering directors such as Masoud Kimiai, Sohrab Shahid Saless, Dariush Mehrjui, Bahram Beyzai, Nasser Taghvai and Parviz Kimiavi. These filmmakers share many common techniques including the use of poetic dialogue and allegorical storytelling dealing with political and philosophical issues.

The British Journal of Photography talks with Magnum Photos photographer Abbas at this year's Visa pour l'Image photojournalism festival in Perpignan. Part one of two. On September 11, 2001, Abbas was in Siberia when he saw TV reports of the Twin Towers in New York collapsing. The exhibition presents contact sheets, work prints, mock-up layouts and covers that never eventuated, forming a Making of documentary. It goes back over seven years during which Abbas traveled around Islamic countries, showing the questions that challenged the photographer: how has the Oumma (community of believers) responded to the horror of fanaticism? How have Islamism and Islamic terrorism or Jihadism grown out of Islam which is their shared religious belief?

My presentation on street photography in the pre - Scott Kelby's World Wide Photo Walk event on 4th October in Manama Bahrain. Some time back...... I sat quietly at a corner and started feeling the street life around me - faint sound of the cars passing by, a loud biker, dim light, conversations of the shop keepers, some pigeons in the middle of street, people waiting at the traffic light, kids playing and then the two little girls. They did not notice me, was I part of the street? perhaps I sat too long to be conspicuous anymore despite with this white big zoom lens i had in my hands. I was amused by this feeling of being invisible, virtually. These pictures are my reflection and as much as they depict the external world around me, they also provide that pin-hole view of the thoug...

Roads of Kiarostami is a 2005 Iranian documentary film directed by Abbas Kiarostami. Looking to his own art for inspiration, Abbas Kiarostami reflects on the power of landscape, which combines views of the Iranian auteur's austere black-and-white photographs with poetic observations, engaging music and a politically provocative finale.
The Experience is a 1973 Iranian feature film directed by Abbas Kiarostami. It is Kiarostami's debut directorial effort. Mamad, an orphaned teenager, works as a messenger boy in a photographic studio, where he also sleeps at night. He falls platonically in love with a girl from a wealthier class. One day, thinking he sees her smiling at him, he decides to go to her house and ask for a job as a servant, so that he can be closer to her, but he receives only a decisive refusal.
