About Me
I, Reyhaneh Zahiri, a social science researcher who was born in Tehran in February 1989 and graduated from Payam Noor University, have been a resident in Dubai since 2008. I began working for Chouk electronic magazine in December 2013 and worked on the editorial board for one year. From November 2014 to June 2015, I worked as the magazine's director for the movie department. The interviews with Iranian film directors, which were conducted and published in a number of magazines and newspapers including Chuk electronic magazine, Shahrvand newspaper (North America), Canadian weekly magazine, and Cinema-Ceshm magazine website, marked the beginning of a series of interviews titled "From Tehran to Nowhere." Three generations of immigrant writers are interviewed in it.
This book is accompanied by a note written by Ms.Nasreen Sotoudeh about the censorship dictating the climate of Iran's cultural society, which was released by H&S Media in 2016. The published interview with Mrs.Partow Nooriala, one of the interviews in this series, was released in 2018 by Sinbad Publications as part of the "Unity of Mind and Language" A collection of interviews with Partow Nooriala , which also includes interviews conducted with her by independent journalists at various points in her life.
In May 2018, I offered assistance and articulated the challenges of the families of autistic children in my weekly "Blue Puzzle" column, which was part of the social section of the Etemad daily. Currently, I am translating educational and psychological terms connected to autism for the Sharq newspaper.
'No.13', a brief documentary I created and directed, was shown at the 13th Cinema Verite (Iran International Documentary Film Festival), in 2017.
I would like to note that among my other activities in this sector, I translated the book "The reason I jump." It was published and printed by the children and teenagers division of Cheshmeh Publications under the name "Kitab Che."
I am in charge of the research, direction, and production of a brand-new documentary that I have been working on since September 2021 and that focuses on the tales of the OudLajan area.
