About


Basil Baradaran has been writing about Asian cinema for the better part of ten years, and founded the Asian Cinema Critic as a way to bundle all those thoughts together. The Asian Cinema Critic has become a mainstay of the London festival circuit, where he can be always found in the audience, sometimes at an event, and occasionally even on a jury.

In 2025, he launched the Asian Cinema Critic Youtube Channel, which takes a lighter look at foreign film. He insists that you like and subscribe.  

He also runs a second YouTube channel called Ghost and Horse Animation, and writes fiction if he ever finds the time.

Writing is tiring stuff – feel free to buy him a coffee!
