ABOUT US
NUR is a group of internationally working productions by filmmakers from different countries founded by David Safarian, Yana Drouz and their students, whose films participated and were awarded at international film festivals.
We are coming from different cultures. We are coming from different countries. Our shooting locations and screening rooms are in The Netherlands and France, Georgia and Italy, Austria and Russia, Belarus and Iran, Macedonia and Serbia, Poland and Finland, Sweden and Moldova, Japan and India, Nepal and Greece, Cuba and Canada, Bolivia and Argentina.
We want to show that borders just exist in our heads and that they have to be overcome in our heads. We want to know how love becomes stronger than fear and curiosity stronger than mistrust. We shoot films that bring us the world closer and that celebrate the differences and common grounds of the people of this earth. In the last 7 years we realized more than 50 film productions.
