Heat Wave (2011 film)
Heat Wave is a 2011 French drama film and the directorial debut of Jean- Jacques Jauffret.

I Want Your Love (film)
I Want Your
Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film.
Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews.
The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons.
The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes.
The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword.
This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively.
Shirin (film)
Shirin is a 2008 film directed by Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami.
The film is considered by some critics as a notable twist in the artistic career of Kiarostami.
The film features close- ups of many notable Iranian actresses and French actress Juliette Binoche as they watch a film based on a part mythological Persian romance tale of Khosrow and Shirin, with themes of female self- sacrifice.
The film has been described as" a compelling exploration of the relationship between image, sound and female spectatorship."
The film depicts the audience's emotional involvement with the story.
The story is read between the tragic and kitsch by a cast of narrators led by Manoucher Esmaieli and is accompanied by a historical" film score" by Morteza Hananeh and Hossein Dehlavi.
The film's production is replete with curious anecdotes.
According to some reports, the women were filmed individually in Kiarostami's living room, with the director asking them to cast their gaze at a mere series of dots above the camera.
The director has also stated that, during the filming process, he had no idea what film they were watching, and settled on the Khosrow and Shirin myth only after shooting had concluded.
In" Taste of Shirin"( 2008, 27 minutes), a documentary by Hamideh Razavi on the making of the film, one can see how the film really was shot.
The brief appearance of Juliette Binoche in the film came as the result of her role in another Kiarostami project.
It was first screened at the 65th Venice International Film Festival.

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.
