Ehsan Mirhosseini

Ehsan Mirhosseini is an Iranian filmmaker, screenwriter, and film producer born in Tehran. He is primarily known for his short films, which sensitively explore complex social dynamics and human relationships through a minimalist and observational style. His most celebrated work, *Forouzan* (2021), achieved significant international recognition, winning the prestigious Orizzonti Award for Best Short Film at the 78th Venice International Film Festival. This success consolidated a reputation already established by previous works such as *Being Ten* (*Das Saalegih*, 2020), praised for their psychological depth and formal precision. Thanks to his ability to tell intimate and universal stories, which often highlight the contradictions of contemporary society, Mirhosseini is considered one of the most promising and original voices in new Iranian cinema.
