Where is the Friend's Home
Cinematography
Two children play in the rain as the director watch from above in this tribute to Iranian maestro Abbas Kiarostami. The window blinds masterfully appear like the insides of one’s eyelids. Mahde's discontent with the colour his digital camera produces led him to shoot this in black and white like many of his other works. The film won the first prize in the Movie of My Life section at the 70th Locarno Film Festival.
