Activity:

Charkh-o-falak is my documentary on Tajik music and dance and a gerat Tajik singer Dawlatmand Kholov (Sep 2003).

I have published several pictures from Uzbekistan (mainly Samarkand and Bukhara) and Tajikistan on the web. I am running Tajikistan page in BBCPersian.com + I have published a book in Persian on pre-Islamic Iranian literature: ADAB-e PAHLAVANI (Tehran, 2000)

My main works for the near future would be ducumentary films on Central Asia especially Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. I think of myself as a campaigner for introducing the cultural treasures of people in Central Asia to the world.

Works:

Year: 2003
Running Time: 90 minutes
Country: Tajikistan
Cast: Dawlatmand Kholov and Whirling Tajik Dancers
Director: Mehdi Jami

Description: Tajikistan is among the poorest countries of the world, yet it contains some of the richest exotic traditions in music and dance. Due to its mountainous location and its geographical isolation in the world, little attention has been paid to this nation and the potentials it can offer to the global community. This film may serve as a humble step to bring into light the long ignored people of the mountains in Central Asia, who have much to present to the world of their folk life and culture.
