Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.
Wow we are really getting long features from Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and Lee Chang Dong this year. Beautiful titles too: All of a Sudden, Jenjira's Magnificent Dream, and Possible Love. I hope to see them all in the cinema 🥺

“At this point I’m asking, “will I make more films? I don’t know, we’ll see.”

Do you really need that time consuming and labour intensive crane shot? How about shooting from a tall adjacent building and instead having better food on set. Do you really need an expensive camera rig to attach your camera to a car? Watch a Kiarostami film.
