Alireza Kaveh is an Iranian film theorist, filmmaker, actor, author, and educator known for his work on genre theory and non-Western cinematic traditions. His critical writings and academic contributions explore how moral tone and cultural value systems influence cinematic forms, particularly in Persian-language cinema.

Career

Kaveh has written and lectured extensively on genre classification, proposing a culturally-rooted alternative to the dominant Hollywood model. His book, The Cinematic Species: Tone and Value in Genre (Persian Edition), was published via Amazon KDP and explores genre through an indigenous Iranian framework. The book has been discussed in Persian-language media, including a feature on Iran International.

Kaveh has also been affiliated with major film events in Iran. He was listed among contributors and workshop leaders at the Fajr International Film Festival (FIFF), where he presented on genre analysis and cultural cinematic identity. His name appears in official festival publications and workshop programs.

In addition to publishing in Persian, Kaveh is active in international conversations about cinema and has a public profile on IMDb documenting his work and film-related contributions. He has acted in and directed at least one short film, as listed on IMDb, further demonstrating his hands-on engagement with the medium.
