Rodin Hamidi was born in 1983 in Tehran Iran.  He is an independent Cinematographer, Director and Fine Art photographer based in New York City.

I am interested in exploring the intersections between storytelling and visual language. I believe both technical and artistic understanding of the medium is necessary in order to create a powerful cinematic experience

He has shot feature length films and several short films that have played in major festivals in the USA. In 2009, Rodin was awarded the grand prize of the international competition “Global Democracy Video Challenge” awarded by Hilary Clinton for his film, ‘The Path’, which screened at both the Directors Guild Of America and the United Nations headquarters. His Artworks have been published in several international periodicals, including Next Level Magazine, Canvas Magazine, and a book by Rose Issa – Iranian Photography Now.
