Keywan Karimi is an Iranian independent filmmaker of Kurdish descent born on September 21, 1985. He graduated in communication studies from the University of Tehran and began his career with short documentary films that directly critiqued life in contemporary Iran.

As a screenwriter and actor, Karimi works across multiple disciplines. After his release, he relocated to Paris for a three-year residency at Cité internationale des arts through an invitation from Institut Français, where he developed his film project OMID. He then moved to Sweden for a two-year residency arranged by Malmö Municipality. Currently, he is working on a photo archive book documenting Kurdistan.
