Hassan Nazer (Persian: حسن ناظر) is a British-Iranian film director, film editor, producer and a judge in international film festivals. He was the head of jury team in SAARC Film Festival 2019 which was held in Sri Lanka.[1][2][3][4]
Career
Now in his early forties, Hassan's successful Aberdeen-based restaurant business Cafe Harmony has allowed him to self-finance three feature films in the decade before Winners. Until now, he has never been supported practically or financially by the Scottish or wider UK film industry, preferring to shape his own destiny working at extreme low-budgets, learning his craft and making a name for himself in Iran, India and Afghanistan. Nazer studied at art university in Tehran. After moving to UK, he attended the University of Aberdeen where he studied Cinema. His third film, Utopia was selected as the Afghan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards[5] and at Golden Globes.[6][7][8] The film has won more than 18 awards in nationally and internationally film festivals.[9][10]
He has remained involved in the political process in Iran and recently voted in the first round of the Presidential elections via a polling station in London.
