Shahram Karimi

In a recent screening of our film “Women Without Men”, during the question/answer session, a viewer asked Shahram Karimi how he approached production design, as a trained painter.   His response was “I treat film like a canvas, I simply paint it.”   This explanation not only beautifully describes Karimi’s relationship to the art of production design in cinema; but also demonstrates how he has for years been so fluid in transforming his painterly manner into more than one form.
