The Dryden will screen Correspondences (Víctor Erice and Abbas Kiarostami, Spain/Iran 2006, 98 min., digital, Spanish and Persian w/ subtitles).

A collection of poetic video letters/postcards/essays exchanged between Víctor Erice and Abbas Kiarostami in 2006 and 2007. "As luck would have it, Abbas Kiarostami and Víctor Erice were born a week apart, the first in Iran (in Tehran) on 22 June 1940, the second in Spain (in Karrantza) on 30 June 1940. Their personal history will determine that both men will become filmmakers—kiarostami by taking a circuitous path; Erice via the more classical route of a film school. Both are now internationally renowned filmmakers and have become, in their respective countries, leading lights for a younger generation of directors, who consider them to be exemplary 'big brothers' and amicable 'masters'." — Alain Bergala (2006)
