Did anyone notice...? and questions about his filmmaking

Did anyone notice that this film contains some of the same location shots as Baran? The white bark tree -lined road for one.

Am I right in guessing that Majidi makes these films for very little money and most often (Baran and Children..., for example)starring regular people/untrained actors?

Do his films actually get distributed to regular cinemas in Iran or do they mostly get shown at film festivals? Thanks for your help.
