Question: Are the directors of films Texas Killing Fields and Life, and Nothing More... both from the same country?

It competed in the 68th Venice International Film Festival in September. Several killings occur along Houston's I- 45 corridor between Houston and Galveston, in and around an area known as" the Killing Fields". Texas Killing Fields( also known as The Fields) is a 2011 American crime film directed by Ami Canaan Mann and starring Sam Worthington, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Jessica Chastain and Chloë Grace Moretz. The film's screenplay was loosely inspired by true events surrounding the murders of women kidnapped from cities spread along 30- plus miles of the I- 45 corridor and dumped in many areas, including various bayous surrounding the oil fields of Texas City, Texas. While in real life there have been several itinerant serial killers involved over the years, the film focuses on specific local Texas City suspects. <SEP> It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival. It is considered the second film in Kiarostami's Koker trilogy. After the 1990 earthquake in Iran that killed over 30,000 people, Kiarostami went to search for the stars of his previous film" Where Is the Friend's Home?". This film is a semi-fictional work based on these events, shot in a documentary- style. It shows a director( played by Farhad Kheradmand) on this journey through the country in the aftermath of the earthquake. Life, and Nothing More ...(" Zendegi va digar hich"; also called And Life Goes On) is a 1992 Iranian film directed by Abbas Kiarostami. <SEP> The Texas Killing Fields is an area bordering the Calder Oil Field, which is a 25-acre patch of land situated a mile from Interstate Highway 45. Since the early 1970s, 30 bodies of murder victims have been found within the Killing Fields area. They were mainly the bodies of girls or young women. Furthermore, many young girls have disappeared from this area; the girls' bodies, if deceased, are still missing. It is believed that many of the murders are the work of multiple serial killers. Most of the victims were aged 12–25 years. Some shared similar physical features, such as similar hairstyles.
Despite exhaustive efforts by the League City, Texas, police, along with the assistance of the FBI, very few of these murders have been solved, and those that have were confessed from prison or forced from police. The fields have been described as "a perfect place [for] killing somebody and getting away with it". After visiting some of the sites of recovered bodies in League City, Ami Canaan Mann, director of the film "Texas Killing Fields", commented: "You could actually see the refineries that are in the south end of League City. You could see the I-45. But if you yelled, no one would necessarily hear you. And if you ran, there wouldn't necessarily be anywhere to go." <SEP> Ami Canaan Mann is a British- born American film director, television director and television writer. <SEP> Nothing More is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Nothing More. The album was released on June 24, 2014, and it is the Nothing More's first album with the prominent independent rock label Eleven Seven Music. The songs on" Nothing More" deal with an array of subject matter such as the mixture of religion, corporations, mental illness, and capitalism. <SEP> 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. Abbas Kiarostami( 22 June 1940 – 4 July 2016) was an Iranian film director, screenwriter, poet, photographer, and film producer. 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.
