Cineaste/Artist/Observer -
I made a film called The Pot and The Oak and produced and edited a film called AVA, which won the FIPRESCI Prize at TIFF 2017.
The Pot and The Oak (Kiarash Anvari, 2017). Obra frente a realidad en un film que explora espacios dispares desde una temporalidad que refleja precisamente esa indivisible línea entre aquello que somos y el lugar al que aspiramos a llegar desde una marcada discursiva. (6/10)
Couldn't prevent myself from reposting this sage statement by @skraicer. Thanks to @rouzbehrashidi for sharing this in the first place. #foreignfilms#colonialism
'If “Wounds” were a normal horror film, he'd be the moron who dies off-screen. Of course, Anvari, whose 2016 debut, “Under the Shadow,” was a retro spook story set in ’80s Tehran, doesn’t do normal.' what a nice review from @variety !

#scottderrickson once tweeted "this is how every director feels when finishing a film." This is genuinely how I feel right now! Can't wait to premiere #Wounds at #sundancefilmfestival in a week! https://t.co/DzkTiuTjnY
The Academy won't see Mahour Jabbari's terrific lead performance in AVA — but it should. Here's why this amazing debut deserves to be remembered amid the more popular fare of awards season: https://t.co/MyascXDuzH

Not your everyday films. Every day.
Iranian filmmaker #KiarashAnvari’s own doubts and fears formed the inspiration for his @PotandOakFilm: a taut, ironically stylised tragicomedy with a philosophical bent about a playwright in crisis. It's now showing on #IFFRUnleashed! Watch here: https://t.co/9AKFCLlHqQ
