Mansour Forouzesh is an Iranian-born, Hungary-based filmmaker, photographer, and interdisciplinary artist working across cinema, photography, installation, and artistic research.

His works have been exhibited internationally in countries including Hungary, Iran, Romania, Spain, and the United Kingdom, while his films have been screened at more than seventy international film festivals worldwide, including Oscar-qualifying festivals such as the Cork International Film Festival.
