Biography

Mahda Purmehdi (b. 1994, Tehran, Iran) is an experimental filmmaker and educator. He works across the mediums of 16mm, Super 8 and digital video, often integrating original images, words, and sounds with reconfigured literary and audio-visual material. At the heart of his filmmaking practice are questions of modes of film production and the political implications of image-making. His films are characterized as visually tactile and handmade evocations, colliding archive and memory, visible and invisible, the living and ghosts, history (especially film history) and the forgotten.
