BIOGRAPHY

Milad Khosravi is an emerging producer and distributor from Iran, with a strong commitment to social issues such as children’s rights, family matters, and current affairs. After years of experience in cinema production and individual film producing, he founded Seven Springs Pictures in 2021, a Tehran-based production and distribution company. The company has produced numerous short films and documentaries, including VADIYAR, THE DREAM OF A HORSE, AUTUMN, and THE SNOW CALLS. These films have been showcased at many festivals, such as IDFA, Big Sky, Krakow, and DMZ IDFF.

In 2023, Milad produced MRS. IRAN’S HUSBAND, which won Best International Short Documentary at Hot Docs, Best Short Film at Fribourg IFF, and was screened at over 20 major festivals worldwide. He also produced TERRESTRIAL VERSES (written and directed by Ali Asgari and Alireza Khatami), which was selected for the Un Certain Regard section of the 76th Cannes Film Festival. Terrestrial Verses was named one of the 10 Best Films of 2024 by The Hollywood Reporter. The film has been released in over 20 countries, receiving 100K admissions in France and 26K in Italy. In 2024, Milad completed his first international co-production, the feature film Requiem for a Tribe, which premiered in the competition section of the Shanghai IFF.

Most recently, Milad produced Ali Asgari’s fourth feature film, Higher than Acidic Clouds, and co-wrote and produced the mid-length documentary The Land of Fire, both set to premiere by the end of the year. He is currently producing three high-quality feature-length films: Cinema Jazireh, a co-production between Iran, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Romania, a feature fiction film written and directed by Gozde Kural; Marjan Khosravi’s second feature film, Dreams of the Wild Oaks, which received support from the Catapult Film Fund, IDFA Bertha Fund, and AlterCine Documentary Fund, and won awards at Sunny Side of the Doc and Vision du Réel Pitching Forum; Sajad Imani’s first feature film, The Highness and Excellency, which won the Tokyo Docs Pitch, the EBS Commissioning Pitch, and was a finalist for the Wickers Award and Baran Sarmad’s first feature fiction film, Mellow Pink which was developed in Pop Up Residency.

Milad has participated in several pitching forums, labs, and workshops over the past five years, including the Hot Docs CrossCurrents Lab, DMZ IDFF Lab/Industry, IDFA Forum, Vision du Réel Forum, European Film Market, and Berlinale Talents Lab.
