How to Make Use of Leisure Time , Az Oghat e Faraghat e Khod Chegouneh Estefadeh Konim (1977) dir. Abbas Kiarostami
Evidently the first installment in a series that didnt continue, this instructional film shows idle twelve and sixteenyear old brothers learning how to improve their surroundings by painting an old door. With the narrator giving stepbystep instructions, the boys go through the processes of sanding, applying primer, and mixing different types of paint. Whatever its educational value, the films quiet enthusiasm for its subject also reflects Kiarostamis own interest in woodworking.
