Amir Naderi

Naderi is a filmmaker I quietly treasure. Born in Abadan, an oil town in Iran, he gave the world The Runner, a film cinephiles still pass around like a secret. He writes, he photographs, he sees. There is a dry, sun-bleached beauty to that strand of Iranian cinema, and he later kept working in America, never abandoning the stories he needed to tell. I'm drawn to artists who refuse to chase trends and instead stare patiently at human beings through the lens. His career proves the unfashionable truth that genuine, uncompromising work outlasts whatever is loud at the moment. That obstinate authorship is exactly what I love.
