These interview clips were in a documentary on Iranian Cinema that I saw on Sundance Channel within the last few years. I cannot remember the name of it and have been trying to find it on their website without luck. I distinctly remember his comments about falling asleep in his favorite films and feeling a kinship with that experience.

This might be the film:

Friendly Persuasion: Iranian Cinema After the 1979 Revolution by Jamsheed Akrami

He's on the TASTE OF CHERRY Criterion.

Thanks for the precision. So it's from 2000? Though the criterion is from 1999. But the footage could be anterior...

There was a complete restrospective in Paris last year, with documentaries on Kiarostami and I don't remember this bit. So I was wondering where it came from. But maybe it a segment of a larger documentary like you say...
