Born in Tehran in 1941. Traveled to the United States in 1967 to study acting, at the college of Visual Art, but returned home on the recommendation of the film director Massud Kimiai to appear in 'The Earth' which Kimiai was planning to shoot. This was Qaribian's first serious involvement in cinema as an actor. Before 'The Earth', however, Qaribian had appeared in a short scene in a previous film by Qimia, 'Come Stranger', on which he had also collaborated as assistant director. Qaribian's debut feature film as director was 'Strife at Tasuki' which he made in 1987.
