Born on November 3, 1979, in Tehran, Iran, Ardeshir Semsar is a filmmaker whose journey transcends borders and embraces the complexities of the human experience. His cinematic odyssey began under the guidance of the legendary Abbas Kiarostami, where he immersed himself in the art of storytelling for eight transformative years, from 2007 to 2015.
During this period, Semsar crafted a collection of short films that bear witness to his passion for narrative and the profound influence of his mentor. From the reflective narrative of "English Way" in 2002 to the evocative whispers of "I'm gone, maybe..!" in 2024, each creation reflects his cinematic journey.
"English Way" (2002) delved into themes of identity and belonging, while "13 Minutes" (2003) offered a poignant meditation on the passage of time. "The Door" (2008) invited viewers to peer into the complexities of existence, metaphorically traversing the threshold between life and death.
"Public Life" (2009) captured the intricacies of society's facade, while "A Few Hairs Less" (2010) and "Wind Sometimes Consoled" (2012) explored themes of impermanence and solace.
In "Workers are Working" (2015), Semsar ventured into the heart of labor, capturing the rhythm and poetry of everyday life. "In Memory of Abbas Kiarostami" (2017) paid homage to his mentor, celebrating his enduring legacy and influence.
Beyond the screen, Semsar's life intertwines with poetry, migration, and introspection. From Tehran to Germany, he embraces the duality of existence, each moment a brushstroke on the canvas of his being.
As he navigates the realms of storytelling, Semsar remains committed to capturing the essence of human experience. For him, cinema is not merely a profession; it's a sacred journey that transcends time and space, illuminating the human condition and celebrating our shared humanity.
