- **Event Name**: QFT x Starling Collective Presents: Close-Up
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 07 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Internationally revered Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami has created some of the most inventive and transcendent cinema of the past thirty years, and Close-up is his most radical, brilliant work.

This fiction-documentary hybrid uses a sensational real-life event—the arrest of a young man on charges that he fraudulently impersonated the well-known filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf—as the basis for a stunning, multilayered investigation into movies, identity, artistic creation, and existence, in which the real people from the case play themselves.

With its universal themes and fascinating narrative knots, Close-up has resonated with viewers around the world.

Following the screening, Iranian food and refreshments will be available, creating space for reflection, discussion and community connection.

Starling Collective is a community-based organisation that supports and empowers people seeking asylum and those who have been granted refugee status. Their work is collaborative and participatory, with services shaped and led by people with lived experience.
