Iranian video art “Sculpture” wins two awards at Chicago festival

The Iranian video art “Sculpture” received two awards at the September edition of the Crown Point International Film Festival in Chicago, the U.S.

Written, directed, and composed by Ramin Hosseinpour, the work won the best short film director for Hosseinpour and the best short film editing for Ehsan Vaseghi at the latest edition of the festival.

The video art is about the life story of Persian poet and mystic Molana Jalal ad-Din Rumi and Shams Tabrizi. During one of his journeys to Konya in 1244, he met the dervish Shams and was deeply influenced by him.
