Mahda Purmehdi (b. 1994, Tehran, Iran) is an experimental filmmaker, writer, 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.
