Roads of Kiarostami is a 2005 Iranian documentary film directed by Abbas Kiarostami.

Looking to his own art for inspiration, Abbas Kiarostami reflects on the power of landscape, which combines views of the Iranian auteur's austere black-and-white photographs with poetic observations, engaging music and a politically provocative finale.

Une école primaire iranienne au milieu des années 1980. Dès qu’un conflit éclate, les élèves concernés sont envoyés dans le bureau du directeur qui les interroge de façon à ce qu’ils reconnaissent d’euxmêmes leur part de responsabilité, toujours selon le même cérémonial : interrogation, aveux, repentir.

Abbas Kiarostami reprend le dispositif de son film Ten sorti en 2002 : une voiture circulait dans les rues de Téhéran, avec deux caméras fixées sur le tableau de bord, une filmant la conductrice et l'autre filmant le passager. Dans 10 on Ten, une seule caméra filme le conducteur qui se trouve être Kiarostami lui-même. En roulant au travers de la campagne iranienne, il évoque devant le spectateur la réalisation de Ten. Ceci est le point de départ d'une réflexion plus générale sur le processus de création du réalisateur, son rapport au documentaire, au sujet filmé, aux caméras numériques et à l'industrie du cinéma.

Hossain Sabzian is a cinephile, and in particular a big fan of popular Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf. One day, Sabzian is riding a bus with a copy of the novel The Cyclist; Mrs. Ahankhah sits next to him, revealing she is a fan of the novel's film adaptation. Sabzian tells her that he himself is Makhmalbaf, the maker. She is then surprised that a famous director would ride public transportation; Sabzian explains in response (posing as Makhmalbaf) that he finds his film subjects this way, telling her that art must spring from life. Posing as Makhmalbaf from this point on, Sabzian visits the Ahankhah family several times over the next two weeks. He flatters them by saying he wants to use not only their house in his next film, but also their sons as actors in it. He even obtains a substantial amount of money from them (ostensibly to prepare for the film). Mr. Ahankhah has his suspicions, however, especially when a magazine photo shows a younger Makhmalbaf with darker hair than that of Sabzian. He invites a journalist (Hossain Farazmand) over, who confirms Sabzian is indeed an impostor. The police come to arrest Sabzian, while Farazmand takes several pictures for his upcoming article: "Bogus Makhmalbaf Arrested." Kiarostami intersperses these scenes throughout the film, in which the events described above do not progress chronologically; they are re-enactments.

This documentary connects two artistic trajectories belonging to two different eras. The former was done by Paul Klee, whose work was considerably influenced by his journey to Tunis, Tunisia, in 1914. The latter is done by the Tunisian filmmaker and painter Nacer Khemir, inspired by Klee's paintings. This film shows the connection between the possibilities offered by images and reveals the links between both artists. Nearly a hundred years after Paul Klee, Nacer Khemir retraces Paul Klee's footsteps in Tunisia, guiding the spectator into the rich history and culture of Tunisia

Dolce Vita Africana is a documentary about the internationally renowned Malian photographer Malick Sidibé, whose iconic images from the late 1950s through the 70s captured the carefree spirit of his generation asserting their freedom after independence and up until an Islamic coup ushered in years of military dictatorship. The filmmaker travels to Malick Sidibé's studio in Bamako, Mali, to witness the artist at work and meet many of the subjects of his earlier photographs, whose personal stories also tell the history of Mali.
