About Us
Blending experimental cinematography, soundscapes, and visual layering, they create sensory experiences that evoke simultaneity and resonance.
VidAmir is the collaborative practice of Iranian-Dutch artists Vida Kashani and Amir Komelizadeh, working at the intersection of film, installation, and digital media. Their work explores themes of displacement, memory, and identity through poetic, immersive storytelling. Blending experimental cinematography, soundscapes, and visual layering, they create sensory experiences that evoke simultaneity and resonance. Their projects have been shown internationally, bridging personal and political narratives with contemporary aesthetics. Rooted in both physical and digital landscapes, VidAmir’s work reflects on the fluidity of presence and absence, crafting spaces where history, technology, and human experience converge in an ongoing dialogue. Together, they create layered, time-based media that challenges fixed narratives and embraces emotional complexity.
In 2022, they received the Film Talent Prize from Toukomst Provincie Groningen. Their work has been shown internationally at venues such as Millennium Film Workshop (Brooklyn, NY), The Grey Space in the Middle (The Hague), Electric Room (Tehran), SIGN (Groningen), Noordelijk Film Festival (Leeuwarden), and the Nederlands Film Festival (Utrecht).
Amir Komelizadeh
is an independent filmmaker, photographer, and multimedia visual artist whose work panels across film, installation, photography and 3d works. He has a BA in Time based media from Academy Minerva in Groningen. Interested in multidisciplinary projects, he has also worked on a few projects as a D.O.P for short independent movies. He is fascinated by the transition between motion and stillness. A swinging movement between resistance and receptivity comes into the picture. In those constructed frames born out of colorful and moody lights, he studies the contradictions which define who we are.
Vida Kashani
is an independent filmmaker, writer, multimedia visual artist, and producer based between Amsterdam and Groningen. She has a master’s degree in Arts and Design specialised in Moving Image from the Sandberg institute. She is often inspired by her socio-political encounters, hence is interested in telling untold stories, focusing on issues such as gender, being a woman, and inhabitants of Neoliberal cities. She tells these stories through a poetic approach which stems from her Persian background.
