WANA (Sep 11) – The Iranian short film “Rami” has won the award for Best Cinematography, presented to Kasra Tirsahar, at the Accolade Global Film Competition in the United States.

 

Founded in 2003, the Accolade is recognized as one of the most respected international events in the short film arena and has been listed by MovieMaker magazine among the “25 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee.” Many of its past winners have gone on to receive honors such as the Oscars and Emmys.

 

“Rami” marks the professional debut of Pouyan Rostami as writer and director. Starring Salar Saki, Hoorapakizdel, and Ramin Yahyizadeh, the film offers a poetic, visually striking exploration of grief and liberation.

 

Kasra Tirsahar, the producer and cinematographer of “Rami”, has once again brought significant recognition to Iranian independent cinema by securing the Best Cinematography award at Accolade. A familiar name in the world of short films, Tirsahar has previously served as a jury member at festivals including GIFF (Greece) and RIFF (Austria). Following the success of his earlier short “Galo”, “Rami” marks another bold and notable achievement in his career.

 

Over the past two decades, the Accolade Global Film Competition has hosted some of the world’s most renowned talents, including Tilda Swinton, Morgan Freeman, Jane Fonda, Liam Neeson, and Hugh Jackman, earning its reputation for professional standards and credibility among independent filmmakers worldwide.
