Sayah Films

Sayah Studio’s filmmaking activity based on documentary short films, animation, video art experimental film started in 2017. The production of these films has been accompanied by filmmaking workshops and masterclasses where the students have entered the studio’s filmmaking projects after completing the course. Due to Studio Sayah’s alignment with independent art, all of these works are made with personal and entirely independent funds and are also published away from government oversight to preserve their authenticity.

The cinematic works of Sayah Studio are a search for culture from Yarfete with an anthropological point of view, which, by emphasizing the creation of cinematic images, tries to create an eye-catching world like baroque paintings. These cinematic images, or in other words, cinematic paintings, are a representation of man connected to eternal sources, who searches for realistic thoughts for his modern life.

فعالیت فیلمسازی استودیو سیاح مبتنی بر فیلمهای کوتاه مستند، انیمیشن، فیلم تجربی ویدیو آرت از ۲۰۱۷ آغاز گردید. ساخت این فیلمها همراه بوده است با کارگاه ها و مسترکلاس های فیلمسازی که هنرجویان پس از اتمام دوره، وارد پروژه های فیلمسازی استودیو شده اند. با توجه به همسویی استودیو سیاح با هنر مستقل، تمام این آثار با بودجه های شخصی و تماماً مستقل ساخته شده اند و همچنین برای حفظ اصالت خود، به دور از نطارت های دولتی منتشر می شوند.

Aliakbar Sayah on behind the scenes of the Cradle of Death 2020

Most Films of Sayah are about loneliness. In his films, he searches for the poetics of a lonely life. In fact, the pains and sufferings of life reach poetic images that happen in the context of cultural awareness of their environment. These films, which are considered more experimental, establish a link between cinema and visual arts, where sometimes films become paintings and sometimes photographs become films. This interdisciplinary confrontation between film, painting and photography has caused the creation of unique images, which are called cinematic paintings. 

In a deeper look, Sayah makes autobiography his main subject in his films. All these films are a free take of what he experienced in life and found a new expression to show them. In an autobiographical film, it is not necessary to tell all the details and real events, but to receive a sense or emotional image or an image formed by the mind is also an image of writing in the work of art.
