Director's Profile | Iranian-Canadian filmmaker Shahin Parhami was born in Shiraz, Iran. After his arrival in Canada in 1988, he quickly became an active writer of poetry and essays for local Iranian-Canadian publications on arts and culture. His appetite for the moving image later inspired him to pursue his studies in film and production first at Ottawa’s Carleton University, and later at Concordia University in Montreal. Parhami directed his first movie [Nasoot] (1997), which was screened at many film festivals. His latest production [Faces (Chehre-ha)] (2007), premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival and won the best feature film award at the Cinewest Experimental Film Festival (FLEXIFF) 2007 (Sydney, Australia). Shahin Parhami is the mastermind behind all his work, producing his own films and responsible for all creative elements. |
