Through the Olive Trees
Through the Olive Trees ("Zīr-e Derakhtān-e Zeytūn", actually meaning "Under the Olive Trees") is a 1994 film directed and written by Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami, set in earthquake-ravaged Northern Iran.
The film was selected as the Iranian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 67th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
It is the final part of Kiarostami's Koker trilogy, and the plot revolves around the production of the second film; "
And Life Goes On...", which itself was a revisitation of the first film - "
Where Is the Friend's Home?".
Like much of Kiarostami's work, "Through the Olive Trees" is filmed in a naturalistic way; a complex study of the link between art and life, its narrative often blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality.
Many have since declared the film a masterpiece.

Abbas Kiarostami
Abbas Kiarostami (22 June 1940 – 4 July 2016) was an Iranian film director, screenwriter, poet, photographer, and film producer.
An active film-maker from 1970, Kiarostami had been involved in the production of over forty films, including shorts and documentaries.
Kiarostami attained critical acclaim for directing the "Koker" trilogy (1987–1994), "Close-Up" (1990)
, "The Wind Will Carry Us" (1999), and "Taste of Cherry" (1997), which was awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival that year.
In later works, "Certified Copy" (2010) and
"Like Someone in Love" (2012), he filmed for the first time outside Iran: in Italy and Japan, respectively.
His films "Where Is the Friend’s Home?Close-Up", and "The Wind Will Carry Us" were ranked among the 100 best foreign films in a 2018 critics' poll by BBC Culture.
"Close-Up" was also ranked one of the 50 greatest movies of all time in the famous decennial "Sight & Sound" poll conducted in 2012.
Kiarostami had worked extensively as a screenwriter, film editor, art director and producer and had designed credit titles and publicity material.
He was also a poet, photographer, painter, illustrator, and graphic designer.
He was part of a generation of filmmakers in the Iranian New Wave, a Persian cinema movement that started in the late 1960s and includes pioneering directors such as Bahram Beyzai, Nasser Taghvai, Ali Hatami, Masoud Kimiai, Dariush Mehrjui, Sohrab Shahid-Saless and Parviz Kimiavi.
These filmmakers share many common techniques including the use of poetic dialogue and allegorical storytelling dealing with political and philosophical issues.
Kiarostami had a reputation for using child protagonists, for documentary-style narrative films, for stories that take place in rural villages, and for conversations that unfold inside cars, using stationary mounted cameras.
He is also known for his use of Persian poetry in the dialogue, titles, and themes of his films.
Kiarostami's films contain a notable degree of ambiguity, an unusual mixture of simplicity and complexity, and often a mix of fictional and documentary elements.
The concepts of change and continuity, in addition to the themes of life and death, play a major role in Kiarostami's works.
