Iran's National Treasure . Simā Binā (Persian: سیما بینا) (born 1944 in Birjand, Iran) is notable Persian classical singer composer and musician. After graduating from Tehran University in 1969 with a major in Arts, She continued and completed her studies. Since 1993, Sima Bina has been invited to present her collection of Persian folk songs in festivals all over the world, including "97 Världen I Norden" in Norway, and "99 WDR Weltmusik Festival" in Bonn, Germany. Due to her devotion and dedication to the Iranian folk music, Sima Bina can now see the materialization of thirty years of meticulous work by making her music known worldwide. Although She currently lives in Germany, she often travels to Iran for her research. Even in her mid sixties, her voice and music are getting better and better. She is definitely a National treasure. However, one of the most shameful act of the Iranian Islamic Regime is that it does not allow Sima Bina to perform in Iran Just because she is a woman.

"The Garbage Man Poet" The Garbageman KnowsHe knows when you party,and when you barbeque-bottles, cans, and disposables amass.He knows your Christmas gifts,and those for the wedding and baby-the boxes tell all.He knows spring cleaning day,and when someone passes-former treasures become trash.He can guess your income level,and even your personality-by the brands and the cleanliness of your can.He knows what you valueby what you throw away.Would you be embarrassedto face him on garbage day?This poem was inspired by the book Garbageland by Elizabeth Royte

Some scenes from the incredible movie "Russian Ark" A 19th century French aristocrat, notorious for his scathing memoirs about life in Russia, travels through the Russian State Hermitage Museum and encounters historical figures from the last 200+ years. A 90-minute movie centered on St. Petersburg's Hermitage Museum, filmed in one unbroken take by a digital Steadicam, didn't send a lot of Americans racing to buy tickets when it was shown here two or three years ago. The movie, however, is far more than just a technical stunt. It's a unique tour de force with emotional impact. This is a highly unusual film, probably a great one.
