Deshe composed the soundtrack for Babak Jalali’s debut feature film Frontier Blues.[4]

Deshe's feature debut White Shadow (2013) tells a story of albino persecution in Central Africa.[5][6] The film brought Deshe the Lion of the Future Award at the Venice Film Festival 2013.[3]

His sophomore feature, Xoftex, premiered at Karlovy Vary Film Festival in 2024. Deshe confesses that the film grew from his experience in Softex, a Greek refugee camp mostly filled by Syrian and Palestinian asylum seekers fleeing war in the Middle East.[6][7][3]

Deshe's upcoming project is a collaboration with Pussy Riot's Pyotr Verzilov.[5]
