Mortician is a Canadian drama film, directed by Abdolreza Kahani and released in 2025. The film stars Nima Sadr as Mojtaba, an Iranian expatriate living in Canada, where he works for a company that washes dead bodies in accordance with Islamic funeral customs. When he receives notice from his boss (Mehdi Salar) that the company is shutting down and he should consider moving back to Iran, he is approached by Jana (Golazin Ardestani), an Iranian pop star also in exile who intends to commit suicide as a social media protest to raise awareness among her fans of government oppression in Iran.
Kahani shot the film entirely on an iPhone, with no other camera or sound equipment.
