The film “Sorkh” is more than just a simple cinematic work; it is like a mirror reflecting a vivid and poetic image of lost childhoods and forgotten memories. Amid the ruins and bitterness of war, a hidden hope emerges, and this piece, with a sincere and moving voice, shows a path toward growth and renewal. “Sorkh” tells the story of the deep wounds of war, yet at the same time carries a message of life and continuity—one that, beyond pain and suffering, invites humanity toward a brighter future. The film’s perspective is not only rooted in the past but also oriented toward a future full of possibility and vitality that blossoms in the heart of hardship. With its fusion of imagery and poetry, the film draws the audience into a world rich in emotion and meaning, offering a chance to reflect on the impacts of war on the human soul and psyche. “Sorkh” is a work that both acknowledges pain and celebrates the power of hope.

He entered the world of art in 2017 with the short film “Weekend”. However, his very first activity dates back to 2013, when he worked on the documentary “Clusters of Fars” as part of the visual effects team. Three years later, he collaborated with Mehdi Falamarzi in his debut work “Nim Sooz” (Half-Burnt), contributing in editing, visual effects, and poster design. That same year, he also worked with Amirhossein Parsaee in the film “Hah”.
In 2015 and 2016, he had the opportunity to appear as an actor in stage plays such as “Our SAVAK” and “Hidden”.
The year 2017 was a very active year for him, with participation in films such as “Illusion Trigger”, “Cassette Tape”, “Darkroom”, and the stage play “Soil and Fire”. For the third time, he also acted in the short film “Illusion Trigger”, directed by Vahid Bemani.
In 2018, he had his third collaboration with Vahid Bemani in the short film “Weekend”, working in editing, visual effects, and color correction. That same year, he also appeared in the film “The Loneliness of a Woman”.
In 2019, he was involved in two works: “Trigger” and “Lucky Coin”. “Trigger” was also his first directorial experience.
In 2021, he once again returned to acting with appearances in “Once Upon a Time in Mars” and “The Ancient Tree”.
His peak of activity came in 2022, where he worked on six projects, including the films “Conditions”, “Fossil”, “Suda”, “Shot”, “The Treasure of War Culture”, and the stage play “Metamorphosis”. In the same year, he directed his second film, “The Treasure of War Culture”.
In 2023, his focus shifted mainly toward acting, with notable participation in the film “Ahmad”, which was presented at the Fajr Film Festival, marking his most recent artistic work.

From my perspective, cinema is not just an art; it is a language for narrating the inner secrets of human beings and reflecting the hidden truths of society. I see acting as an opportunity to live in different worlds, and directing as a bridge that transforms dreams and thoughts into images. For me, every cinematic frame is a journey between emotion, thought, and reality—a journey that not only entertains the viewer but also transforms them.
In my view, cinema is a fusion of imagination, courage, and truth-seeking; a place where stories find meaning, silences speak, and images become eternal.
