film director Abbas Kiarostami poses at the 55th International Film Festival in Cannes,
southeastern France, in this, May 20, 2002 file photo. Kiarostami was denied a visa
to enter the United States to attend the New York Film Festival because of heightened
security after last year's terrorist attacks. Kiarostami went to the U.S. Embassy
in Paris to apply for a visa and waited several days before learning he'd been turned
down, said Richard Pena, chairman of the festival's selectioncommittee and program
director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center. (AP Photo/Michel Euler,file)
