Kiarostami completed “24 Frames” months before his death in July 2016. “It began with musings on epochal paintings and evolved with the photographs I had taken over the years,” Kiarostami once said about his film.

The festival is scheduled to open with “Paradox” by Hong Kong’s prominent director Wilson Yip on August 15.
