Samaali

Muzaffar Ali, essentially a painter and filmmaker deeply inspired by Sufism has developed a discerning eye and vision for aesthetics and humanity. He has established an in depth admiration for his creativity all over the world and follows his creative pursuits without compromise ~ music, painting, fashion, craft, design - culminating in his passion for making films.
Driven by a sense of beauty and oneness of the human race, he dreams of a world in which love becomes a reigning concern... he dreams of the human condition in relationship to nature and believes that humility in art can become a vehicle for holistic emancipation of mankind. He is constantly looking for friends in this journey to share his vision and help society and in the process bring peace and health to themselves, and thereby perpetuate a larger movement.
He has followed his heart in the journey of his life as an artist; he has been drawn towards human helplessness which became the inspiration and theme for his art. His ongoing quest for beauty has slowly drawn him towards the Sufi path of love. He has woven his way through cities and cultures and his life and art have become mirror to one another.
Known the world over by his classic feature film Umrao Jaan, the name of Muzaffar Ali to all those who know him, spells a quest for beauty and excellence, humanity and aesthetics. ... ...Less
