Víctor Erice / Abbas Kiarostami
19 September 2007 - 7 January 2008

The cinema directors and artists Víctor Erice and Abbas Kiarostami both work on the hazy frontier that separates cinema from video installations, photography and painting. The 'Correspondences' exhibition, presented by the Centre Pompidou, creates a dialogue between the works by Erice and Kiarostami, revolving around the themes and issues they so often share: childhood, landscapes, roads, trees, silence, etc. It is also an opportunity to screen all of the works the two directors have produced over their careers, and to provide Víctor Erice with carte blanche to present around twenty films that are linked to childhood and which have inspired his own work.

Commissaires / organisateurs:
Jordi Ballo, Alain Bergala, Sylvie Pras

The « Víctor Erice / Abbas Kiarostami : correspondances » exhibition is produced by the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona, La Casa Encendida with the collaboration of the Sociedad Estatal para la Acción Cultural Exterior
