Abbas Raziji
Abbas Raziji (Persian: عباس رزیجی, born 9 April 1984) is an Iranian film director, screenwriter and film producer. Abbas Raziji was born in Ahvaz.
Abbas Raziji was born in 1984 in Iran. He has an MA degree in theatre from Art and Architecture University. He is fluent in Persian, Arabic and English. He began his career with theatre. Most of his works have been banned because of being alternative and unconventional (for example, he performed WAITING FOR GODOT in toilets instead of on stage). After directing some video films, he made his first feature fiction film called COLD BREATH, which attended several festivals and received international attention. This movie received screening permission in IRAN after 4 years because it was about the rights of transgender people. His first documentary movie, which had a challenging subject, is about an old Iranian filmmaker whose all movies have been banned in Iran.
