Amin Aslani (Persian: امین اصلانی) (born in Paris, France) is an Iranian filmmaker, translator and author. He is a PHD student in Film-Philosophy at European Graduate School. His book Caligarism: a short glance into Visual Culture of Weimar cinema is an expanded version of his MA thesis at University of Kent in Persian to discuss on sociology of a history-making epoch of European cinema (German expressionism) and related theories revolving around philosophy of film, anthropology, politics and sociology. Aslani has made and edited several short or feature films. He has also composed the soundtrack for Mohammad Reza Aslani's film Tehran, A Conceptual Art (Persian: تهران, هنر مفهومی).[1]
