TEHRAN -- Filmmaker Khosrow Sinaii together with his art-loving family members are going to display their artworks for the public in a group exhibition opening on Friday December 31 at Tehran’s Rah-e Abrisham (Silk Road) Gallery.

Farah Osuli and Gizella Varga Sinaii (Sinaii’s wives), daughters Yasmin, Samira, Alma, son Sam, and grandson Masih Parsaii together will put their works on show.
Entitled “In the World Where I am Living”, the two artists Farah and Gizella will be displaying their joint production which also bears the same title as the exhibit.
Khosrow Sinaii is internationally famous for over a hundred short films, documentaries and features. “In the Alleys of Love”, “Talking with a Shadow” and “Bride of Fire” are among his credits.
He received the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland for his documentary “The Lost Requiem” in 2008.
Khosrow is taking part with a short 12-minute video installation named “Biography” centering on sculptor Jazeh Tabatabaii (1931-2008). Tabatabaii is renowned as the founder and director of Iran’s first gallery known as Iran’s Modern Art Gallery.
Iran-based Hungarian artist Gizella and Iranian Farah each will be exhibiting 11 paintings.
But their joint artwork is a huge one measuring 3x1.5m. Each of them has used motifs and elements from their own country in this work. The painting was previously displayed in Paris, Budapest and Tehran.
Yasmin is attending with her sculpture “Dream of Flight” and Samira with her video installation “Flags of My Two Lands”.
