Jano Rosebiani
However , Rosebiani's true calling was to bring the stories of his oppressed people to the big screen at a time when Kurdish cinema was still to be born -the only Kurdish film that had captured the attention of the West was Yılmaz Güney's Palme d'Or prize winner , "Yol" ( 1982 ) . In 2001 Rosebiani folded his Burbank-based production house and headed to the liberated Kurdish region of Iraq ( South Kurdistan ) where he made his first Kurdish film , "Jiyan" ( life ) .
