- Xerxes Saviz is an Iranian-British filmmaker based in the United Kingdom. Xerxes's films are known for their unconventional, surreal, and deeply experimental style, often blending philosophy with evocative visual language. His work rejects cliché and commercial formula, seeking instead to probe the subconscious and present layered, challenging narratives to the audience. For Xerxes, art is an act of transcendence, not a product, not content, and never merely entertainment.
Guided by a personal ethic rooted in kindness, honesty, and humility, he approaches filmmaking with both rigor and vulnerability. A committed perfectionist, he draws inspiration from fine art, metaphysics, and physical discipline, maintaining a strong interest in fitness as part of his creative balance.
Xerxes continues to develop projects that confront existential questions, social tensions, and the silent emotional machinery of human life, establishing himself as a distinctive and uncompromising new voice in contemporary arthouse cinema.
