2025 Venice Best Film–Venice Days

Young Amir considers relocating to Italy, to leave his city, Teheran, to start a new life. He spends time meeting with friends, spending time with family, fragments of a nostalgic diary of connections, memories, loneliness in a city of turmoil... ‘The film swings between past and present – friendships, late-night anxiety, and a city Amir is still tied to. Inside Amir is a quiet meditation on the emotional distance between staying and leaving –– not about what’s right or wrong, but what remains unresolved. Inside Amir is rooted in personal experience, but it aims to speak in a universal cinematic language. I’m drawn to the poetry of ordinary life –– to the subtle rhythms of streets, bodies in motion, and moments that seem quiet but are emotionally charged.’ – Amir Azizi
