An independent filmmaker working and creating on the unceded territories
of the Coast Salish Peoples (Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh).
Mobarez Javanmard is an Iranian-Canadian filmmaker and writer-director based in Vancouver, Canada.
His work operates between fiction and documentary, using controlled surrealism, repetition, and restrained form to explore psychological pressure, layered reality, and internal censorship.
Active since the early 2000s, his films avoid explanatory narratives and focus on situations where calm surfaces conceal unresolved tension. Javanmard’s cinema treats realism and surreal form as complementary tools rather than opposing styles, emphasizing limitation and formal control as ethical choices.
