Saleh Kashefi (born Tehran, 1999) is an Iranian filmmaker. He has made 12 short films which have been included in over 100 film festivals around the world and have won 26 awards. His first feature film, Mammad, is one of six projects selected by Cannes Film Festival's Cinefondation Residence.
Kashefi writes; “Being judged by others is a big issue in Iran and I have made many films on this topic. The human body and its significant place in society has always fascinated me—especially as I come from a country where we always hide our bodies and are ashamed of them.”
