VaranYar (born September 9, 1992, Hamedan, Iran) is a singer, songwriter, musician, composer. Varan Yar is of Kurdish origin and now resides in Karaj. He is the family's youngest child, with one brother and three sisters. He graduated from Tehran Azad University with a bachelor's degree in computer software. VaranYar pursued his passion for music and the arts as a kid, thanks to the backing of his family and friends. As a youngster, he succeeded to release his single track, "Delkhoshi” [Delight], which featured his own song and composition, and arrangements by Kamyar Khosravi. After a year passed of his debut dong’s release, Varan Yar launched his new single, "Paiz” [Automn], composed and arranged by Me’raj Garmabi. In 2018, he met twin brothers Amin and Omid and began a more serious artistic collaboration with them. This collaboration started with a song called "Bi Rahm” [Hardhearted]. Amin and Omid composed the song, and Arshida Khodadadpour wrote the lyrics with a license from the Ministry of Culture. Varan Yar then co-published his other works, named "Tab" [Fever], "Hasrat" [Regret], and "Gonah" [Sin], with Mostafa Momeni, Fatah Fathi, Amir Heidari, Iman Ahmadzadeh, Mohammad Zarnoush, Kian Darat, Farid Imani, Behnam Hakim, and Hirad Niknam. VaranYar still works with these artists and currently they are composing his new albums and single tracks.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
