Submitter Biography:
Ghazal Majidi (b. 1995) is an experimental filmmaker and animator from Tehran, currently based in Vancouver. Her body of work ranges between 3D animated shorts, music videos, and VR. Her works have been premiered in film festivals and galleries in Iran, United States, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Japan, Spain, Slovakia, and more including Vienna Shorts, Brussels International Film Festival, and Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien Berlin. With an academic background in Architecture, she has dived deep into the dynamics between Space and Story- a reciprocating relationship that drives most of her work. As so, she focuses on creating new qualities of surrounding space that lure in outlandish tales, exploring familiar concepts like identity and its subcategories, i.e. memory, loss, and attachment, as well as humans’ interaction with their environment. In her films, she creates atmospheric fantasies that spotlight the arbitrary, the mundane, and the ambiguous. Majidi is currently pursuing an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts at Simon Fraser University.
