Kamiran Hosni
Kamiran Hosni (July 1, 1927 - September 2004) was an influential Iraqi filmmaker and a pioneer of realistic cinema in Iraq. He earned a master's degree in film directing from the United States and was dedicated to establishing a distinctive Iraqi cinema presence. He founded Iraq's first film magazine, 'Cinema,' in 1955 and directed the acclaimed film 'Said Afandi' (1956), which marked a significant milestone in Iraqi cinema.
