A landmark work of Iranian cinema, Abbas Kiarostami’s fascinating documentary-fiction hybrid opens our 2026 Garden Goes Global weekend of international films. Based on a real-life trial, the film reenacts an incident of a man who is arrested for assuming the identity of a famous Iranian filmmaker. Exploring themes of cinema, truth and storytelling, this film is one of Kiarostami’s finest achievements and is a profoundly moving meditation on the human desire to be seen. In Persian and Azerbaijani w/ subtitles.
