Kiarostami stages two versions of a classroom discipline situation - in one, a student tells on a troublemaker; in the other, seven students refuse to rat - and then has several adult authorities comment on the outcomes. The fascinating responses evoke conflicts between order and resistance.Text by Janus Films.—Experience (1973)2K RESTORATIONOriginal Title: تجربه‎ / TadjrobehDirected by: Abbas KiarostamiRuntime: 56 minCountry: IranLanguage: Persian, with English subtitlesRating: PGASIAN PREMIERE—Full SynopsisBased on a story by Amir Naderi, who also co-wrote the film, this slice of a fourteen-year-old boy’s life follows his efforts to fend for himself in the big city, working as a tea server and assistant in a photographer’s studio, running errands, and, briefly, exchanging glances with a pretty middle-class girl. With no music and little dialogue, and distinguished by its darkly elegant compositions, this film offers an impressionistic meditation on adolescent solitude.Text by Janus Films.—For the full Retrospective: Abbas Kiarostami programme, please refer here.We would advise all to turn up early or on time for screenings as Oldham Theatre does not play ads.If you have any trouble purchasing your tickets, please contact us at ticketing@asianfilmarchive.org —Important Notice:Do note that Oldham Theatre does not play ads and screenings will start promptly.
