Biography
Author–Director, Film Editor, and Researcher Born in Tehran in 1997 and based in France, Amirhossein Beik is a filmmaker, writer, and editor whose work moves between fiction, documentary, and experimentation. He holds a Master’s degree in Cinema from the University of Rennes 2 and is pursuing a PhD in research-creation focused on immersive and 360° cinema. His films are built around the tension between realism and the surreal, silence and memory, identity and transformation. His creative process often begins with a single image or rhythm, unfolding slowly into narratives that balance psychological depth with visual precision. His works have been selected in multiple international festivals. Alongside his filmmaking, he has worked as an assistant director, screenwriter, and editor for television and independent productions. In 2025, he founded Div Productions, a French audiovisual house dedicated to bold, author-driven cinema. Under this label, he develops projects across fiction, animation, and hybrid forms. His artistic vision is defined by restraint, contemplation, and a constant dialogue between form and emotion — cinema as an act of reflection and resistance.
