TEHRAN -- The Iranian Artists Forum (IAF) plans to honor Khosro Sinaii during a program on August 15.
 
His poem collection “The Song of the White Butterflies”, which was published by Amrud in June 2012, will be introduced during the program entitled “Khosro Sinaii, a Poet and Filmmaker”.
 
Painter and poet Mohammad-Ebrahim Jafari, and poets Puneh Nedaii and Alireza Bahrami are scheduled to deliver speeches about Sinaii’s poems, and two documentaries directed by Hamid Farrokhnejad and Ronak Jafari about him will also be screened.
 
In addition, the IAF will unveil a collection of Sinaii’s documentaries on three DVDs, which contains “The Allley of Autumn”, a biopic about Iranian poet and painter Jazeh Tabatabii, and “Talking with a Shadow” about Iranian writer Sadeq Hedayat.
 
The DVDs also comprise “Biography”, “The Coldness of Iron”, “Hossein Yavari”, “Between Light and Shadow” and “The Winning Plan”.
 
Sinaii’s films will also be discussed by critics Akbar Aalami and Ahmad Talebinejad, and documentarian Mehrdad Oskuii.
 
Sinaii is also a skilful composer and accordion virtuoso and has composed for some of his own films.
 
In 2008, he received the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Merit of Poland for his “The Lost Requiem”, a documentary about the Polish wartime exodus from the Soviet labor camps of Siberia to Iran.
