Biography
Javad Daraei is a British-Iranian film director, screenwriter, and playwright whose work exposes the harsh realities faced by persecuted minorities in Iran—women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people with disabilities. Born in 1992, Daraei is a survivor of torture and political imprisonment by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and holds an alumnus status from IASH at the University of Edinburgh. As a screenwriter, he crafts narratives rooted in trauma, exile, identity, and survival. His short films I Don't Like Here (2016) and Limit (2017) screened at several Academy-qualifying festivals, establishing his reputation for unflinching storytelling. His feature debut, Metamorphosis in the Slaughterhouse (2021), won multiple awards in the United States and Europe despite being made under highly restricted and clandestine conditions in Iran. Daraei has reflected on his creative practice: "Before, I used to write to live. Now, I write just to survive". A Pisces born February 27, Daraei embodies life-path 5—the restless, adaptable survivor who channels upheaval into transformation [F1, enrichments]. Working primarily in film and theatre, he continues to challenge audiences with uncompromising examinations of state violence and human resilience.
