Seyed Mohsen Pourmohseni Shakib (Persian: سید محسن پورمحسنی شکیب, born 1988) is an Iranian film director and screenwriter who began his art career at age 17 by becoming a member of the Iranian Youth Cinema Society. He achieved the Youth of the Year Award in Guilan province in the Culture & Art category, awarded by the Iranian Ministry of Sport and Youth in 2013.[2] His focus as a filmmaker has been elevating the voices of marginalized people through his art.[3][4][5][6][7] His fifth animated short film The Boot was the first Iranian-produced short film that received a nomination for the best animation at the 49th Student Academy Awards in 2022.[8][9] The animation story was about a bird struggling to find food for its hungry chickens in a city ravaged by war and famine where there is nothing but wreckage and corpses.[10] Furthermore, He won the 6th WIA Diversity Award for his short animation It's A Gray, Gray world! in 2022. The award was created by Women in Animation to recognize and celebrate projects and people that have made a substantial impact in broadening the diversity of voices in the animation industry- whether it be through their own creativity, by fostering the creativity of others, or by driving diversity initiatives that enrich animation industry and communities.[11][12] Worth noting, It's A Gray, Gray World! won the Best Animated Short Jury Award at the 47th Cleveland Film Festival and was longlisted for the Short Film Animated category at 96th Academy Awards.[13][14][15]
