Bio
Navid Fashami (born 1982) is an Iranian composer and filmmaker. He began his artistic journey as a teenager through songwriting, and later pursued a degree in film directing, developing a practice at the intersection of sound and image—with a particular focus on poetic, experimental, and essayistic forms.
Between 2014 and 2016, he directed over 70 short documentaries for Arte (France/Germany), covering a wide range of cultural topics. He has also made several independent short and experimental films that have been screened at international festivals. In 2010, he participated as a film composer in Berlinale Talents.
His film music spans a broad spectrum of fiction, documentary, and experimental cinema. His work has been featured at prestigious festivals such as Locarno and Toronto, and his soundtracks have been released on global platforms. His new project, Teaching Daydreaming, is a poetic essay film currently in the script development stage.
