Trivia

  • Rosebiani has been listed in the top 35 world filmmakers in the book "Cineaste Uit De Schaduw" (Filmmakers from the Shadow) by Belgian celebrity photographer Kris De Witte.
  • For Jiyan, Rosebiani hauled filming gear from London in 2000 but had to smuggle them across the border between Kurdistan and Turkey, as Turkey did not allow cameras to enter the autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq. He later on smuggled the raw footage back across the border to Brussels where he did the post production.
  • Rosebiani's Jiyan is the first Kurdish language film made in the autonomous Kurdistan region, shot in January of 2001.
  • Rosebiani received the Who's Who in American Junior Colleges Award in 1985.
  • Although "Dance of the Pendulum" is dubbed as his debut film, Rosebiani made his first feature length film for the Fairfax Public Access TV entitled "Come Back" during his college days in 1987.

Quotes

  • I consider myself an international filmmaker who knows no geographical nor ideological boundaries. I savor creating stories around cross-cultural themes.
  • Film should make you laugh, make you cry, and then make you reflect and want to go back and see it again.
