Saimir is a 2004 Italian drama film co-written and directed by Francesco Munzi, in his feature film debut. It premiered at the 61st Venice International Film Festival.
The film premiered in the Orizzonti section at the 61st edition of the Venice Film Festival, in which it received a Lion of the Future special mention.
Variety's critic Jay Weissberg praised the film, describing it as an "engrossing character study of a teen struggling to find the proper path [that] doesn't wipe away stereotypes so much as plumbs them for the truths beyond the archetype, though occasionally hampered by commonplace dialogue".
For this film Munzi won a Nastro d'Argento Award for Best New Director and received a David di Donatello nomination in the same category and a European Film Award nomination as European Discovery of the Year.
