Amir Motlagh creates fictions but presents them in a documentary style. He is often the main character in his short films. Often touching on subjects that are taboo to modern-day television, especially the use of drugs, the films seem so realistic that the viewer finds it hard to believe they are fictions.
Still Lover
Trt 05:33
A man, a woman life and love one shot at a time.
Love @ 11:47
Trt 13:00
Love @ 11:47 is a short film about the obsessions that drive three characters into uncontrollable action. The film catches a glimpse of three people caught in the grips of mania as the clock turns to 11:47 pm on a regular night, in a place like any other. Though the characters are far from each other in space they space the same fatal flaw that binds them together in mind and body. Love @11:47 is a voyeuristic view into the lives of three people that are closer to each other than it first appears.
Dino Adino
Trt 15:45
Dino Adino is a suburban fable about too much sleeping, dicking around, and thinking that tomorrow will be the day that you get on with life. The films chronicles one day in the life of Dino from sun up to sun down on his 23rd birthday. His friends decide to record his ‘mutherfuckin’ birthday as a surprise, but by documenting the entire day, much is revealed about dino’s true conflicted character when his self-confessing interview and his action play over one another. He wants to be a graphic artist but he’s caught up in a lifestyle, which could eventually engulf any dreams of art. But humorous and disheartening, the film takes the whole of his life and dissects it into one day, like any other day.
