Biography

Pedram Ambera (Banaha) (born May 20, 1998) is an Iranian experimental filmmaker, graphic artist, screenwriter, and editor. He primarily works within experimental formats, with a focus on the intersection of narrative and form. His films often revolve around political and romantic themes, blending the two in a personal and poetic manner. Long takes, studio-like settings, and minimal editing are hallmarks of his visual style. In his work, he aims to create spaces that move between personal experience and a critical perspective on the world—through visual design, sound-focused storytelling, theatrical scenes, and minimalistic narration. His film "A Report in Two Act" was nominated at the Kalakkari Film Festival in India and won Best Actor at the IndieFest Film Awards in the United States.
