Abdolahzade
Director
Iranian filmmaker and analog photographer, born in southern Iran and based in Tehran. His films explore fear, memory, death, and the fragile boundaries between reality and imagination — through fragmented narratives, visual correspondences, and the interplay of image and sound.
After studying philosophy at university for two semesters, he left academia to pursue filmmaking and began his studies in cinema.
His first short film, Ismail (2017), was screened at several international film festivals. Translation of Ebb (2019) was screened at the São Paulo International Short Film Festival, SorsiCorti, the East Europe International Film Festival and Other Movie Lugano, and in 2026 was selected for the International Kurzfilmtage Winterthur. His latest short film, From The Sea, was recently completed.
