 Kiarostami 's cinema offers a different definition of film . According to film professors such as <unk> Akrami , unlike many other contemporary filmmakers Kiarostami has consistently attempted to redefine film by forcing the audience 's increased involvement . In recent years he has also progressively trimmed down the size of his films , which Akrami believes reduces the film making experience from a collective endeavor to a purer , more basic form of artistic expression .
