About
Mania Akbari is an Iranian filmmaker and artist whose work defies Iranian cinema's melodramatic tradition, instead centering women's rights, sexual identity, and body image through visual autobiography. Born in 1974, she became one of Iran's most controversial directors for frankly discussing taboo subjects and opposing state censorship. After crew members were arrested during production of From Tehran to London in 2011, Akbari fled to London, where her retrospectives at the BFI and Danish Film Institute have expanded her international reach. A Virgo by zodiac, she founded the digital art platform Cryptofiction in 2020.

Biography
Mania Akbari is an Iranian filmmaker, artist, writer, and curator born in 1974 whose cinema directly confronts taboo subjects in Iranian society. Her practice—rooted in visual arts and autobiography rather than the country's long melodramatic film tradition—explores women's rights, marriage, sexual identity, disease, and body image. Because she refuses to self-censor and openly opposes state film censorship, she is recognized as one of Iran's most controversial contemporary filmmakers. Between 2007 and 2010, Akbari produced photography-based works exhibited in galleries internationally while continuing to make documentary and fiction films. In 2011, during production of From Tehran to London, Iranian authorities arrested members of her crew for filming without official permission. Fearing imprisonment herself, Akbari left Tehran for London. Since relocating, major retrospectives at institutions including the British Film Institute, the Oldenburg International Film Festival, and the Danish Film Institute have significantly raised her international profile. In 2020, she founded Cryptofiction, an online platform for digital art. As a Life Path 7, Akbari embodies the introspective, truth-seeking archetype—a filmmaker who digs into the hidden layers of identity and society. A Virgo by Western zodiac, she channels analytical precision into her interrogation of social taboos.
