Reza Mirkarimi

Iranian film writer and director

Reza Mirkarimi worked in film at a period when the medium itself was still changing shape.

The record lists Reza Mirkarimi as Iranian film writer and director.

Reza Mirkarimi was born at Tehran in 1966. His recorded nationality is Iran. He trained at College of Fine Arts and University of Tehran.

By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.

He worked as film director, screenwriter and film producer.

Among his best-known works are The Child and the Soldier, Under the Moonlight and Here, a Shining Light. The screen flattens effort: a performance that took months reads as a few unhurried minutes.

That the work was made from Iran shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Reza Mirkarimi is still working, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
