Film Matters is pleased to introduce Sohrab Mirab as an assistant editor; he works closely with our authors on preparing their texts for publication, as well as leading the OER textbook project.
Sohrab holds an MFA in cinema from San Francisco State University (class of 2016). His past working experience includes International Affairs Liaison at DEFC (Documentary and Experimental Film Center), in Tehran, Iran. He has also served as a juror for the Oscar qualifying section of Mini-Docs at the seventeenth edition of Big Sky Documentary Film Festival. While he explores various modes of production, he is particularly interested in the interrelationship of allegory with history, postcolonialism, performing arts, and religion in Iran. Also, revisionist historiography of Iranian cinema is one of his major areas of research. He is currently pursuing his MA in film studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
