Available to hire
I am a Kurdish-Iranian filmmaker and photographer based in Paris, with over a decade of experience in producing audiovisual and narrative works, including documentaries, short fiction films, and feature scripts.
My practice has always been informed by a strong academic interest in cinema as both an artistic and research-driven field, where I explore questions of memory, migration, and identity through visual storytelling.
