Amir Eskandar is a multidisciplinary visual artist, photographer, filmmaker, and emerging production designer working across cinema, theatre, and visual storytelling. He is currently completing his final year in Cinema and Theatre Set Design at MSA University, where his work focuses on the dramaturgy of space and the emotional function of light, composition, and architecture.
He has professional experience as a set designer on the feature film برشامة (dir. Khaled Diab), contributing to visual development and on-set execution. Alongside his work in production design, Amir maintains an active photography and filmmaking practice centered on human presence, memory, and psychological interiority, often highlighting overlooked individuals and quiet, intimate narratives.
His photographic work has received national recognition, including a nomination for the Farouk Hosny Photography Award (2025) and two nominations for the Egypt Catholic Center for Cinema Photography Award (2024, 2025). As a filmmaker, he was a semifinalist for Best Super Short Film and Best Director at the SWIFF Film Festival (2023), and his films have participated in international film festivals across Europe, Africa, and North America.
Driven by a belief that visual design should serve meaning rather than spectacle, Amir’s work consistently explores the intersection of space, character, and inner states, positioning him at the crossroads of contemporary photography, filmmaking, and cinematic production design.Amir Eskandar is a multidisciplinary visual artist, photographer, filmmaker, and emerging production designer working across cinema, theatre, and visual storytelling.
