Co-directors Pat Collins and Fergus Daly join Mr. Kiarostami on an unlikely trip to the Aran Islands. En route the enigmatic artist opens up about his creative process, one that extends far beyond conventional filmmaking to encompass video art, still photography and poetry. Interposed are contributions from a variety of critical heavy-hitters and Kiarostami associates, musing upon his body of work. A fine introduction to one of the giants of cinema and a fascinating glimpse of the master at play.

Marking more than 20 years of deep engagement with the artistry and working methodologies of Kiarostami, Fergus Daly’s film is a visual compound of on-screen text and archival film of the journey to the Aran islands in the early 2000s.
