Portraitist

The Jury of our 6th Firenze FilmCorti Festival decided to destine this film to the Official Selection, because it was a touching story and very well acted, thank the very good Director.

This is one of the best film we ever had in our Festival. In our 7th edition it won the prize as best film, best film joung jury, best main actor and pubblic award. Thanks to the director Cyrus Neshvad.

Portraitist is a beautifully constructed drama that touches the heart with well-earned poignancy. The realistically portrayed misunderstandings between a grandfather, son, and grand-daughter use the conceit of an artist's neglect of family to power an intricate storyline and gorgeous visuals. I've seen this film three times at different festivals, and every time it's been a delight. Well worth seeing.

Portraitist is a visually stunning and extremely well directed heart warming film. It's an absolute must watch. 10 out of 10!!!

Cyrus Neshvad's award winning short film, Portraitist, is both beautiful and heartbreaking - a MUST see for everyone. Portraitist reminds us that there's more to life than what the surface presents and that love for another person can reveal itself in many different ways - whether it be the love a grandfather holds for his granddaughter or a son for his father. The film also reminds us of the importance of art and that we must never underestimate the power of a portrait.
