Tehran – Written, directed and composed by Ramin Hosseinpur, Iranian video art “Sculpture” won the April 2025 edition of the Indiefest Film Awards in California, USA, with a special merit mention award.
The ju judge team has awarded the award for notable artistic and technical aspects of the project, Mehr reported.
Hosseinpour plays electric guitar in his work, and as a vocalist, he sings poems by the Persian poet and mystical Molana Jalal Ad-Din Rumi.
Video art is about Rumi’s life story. On one of his trips to Konya in 1244, he met Dervish Shams Tabrizi, and was deeply influenced by him.
For months, the two men were constantly interacting, resulting in Rumi being ignoring their identities and family members.
One night in 1247, Shams disappeared forever. This experience transformed Rumi into a poet. Shams’ Divan (a collection of Shams’ poems) truly translates his experiences into poems.
Hosseinpour’s video art has so far won several awards at various international festivals. Recently, we won the Best Rock Music Video and Best VFX: Music Video Los Angeles Movie and Music Video Awards in the US Music Video
His previous achievements include the Best Composer Award at the 26th LA Sunfilmfest in Los Angeles, Best Animated Music Video Award at the Hello International Film Festival in St. Petersburg, and the Best Documentary Script Award at the King Film Awards 2023 in London.
Hosseinpour, 38, is a versatile international artist and works professionally in international media. He is an architect, conceptual artist, writer, director, producer and composer.
He has won awards at more than 55 international festivals in Munich, Vancouver, Paris, Moscow, New York, Boden, Las Vegas, Rome and more.
