Niasari, Noora |
Date of birth
1989, Tehran, Iran
Noora Niasari (1989, Tehran, Iran)
Tehran born, Australian raised, Niasari is a writer, director, producer and co-founder of Parandeh Pictures.
Her debut feature film Shayda premiered in the World Dramatic Competition of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival where it won the coveted Audience Award and was sold to Sony Pictures Classics.
She initially studied architecture, but found herself drawn to the power of cinema. She travelled the world, making documentaries in Wales, Lebanon, and Chile, where she made Antunez House (2017), nominated for the New Talent Award at the 2017 Sheffield Doc/Fest.
During her masters of film and television at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), her focus shifted inwards, to stories of her Iranian diaspora community. Her graduate short, La Fenice (Simorgh) starred the acclaimed pre-revolution Iranian actor Manouchehr Farid. It won the VCA New Voice Award, was nominated for an Australian Directors' Guild Award and selected for the 2015 MIFF Accelerator Lab.
In 2015, Niasari travelled to Spain where she was mentored by Abbas Kiarostami. In his workshop, she developed the idea for her Screen Australia-funded short film Waterfall (2017), a cross-cultural, coming of age drama that competed at festivals worldwide including MIFF, Leiden and Rencontres Internationales du Cinéma des Antipodes.
In 2020, she released her short film, Tâm (2020), which competed at the 2020 CinefestOZ Film Festival, MIFF 68 ½, Oscar Qualifying Flickerfest and St Kilda Film Festivals.
