The compelling story of the widows of Banarers. According to Hindu tradition, when a husband dies, the wife breaks her bangles and exchanges her colourful sari for a white one. Many of them end up in Banares, the city of widows and Radha followers. This powerful cinéma-vérité observes their silence, sadness and endurance.

Mohammad Al Darradji's documentary looks at the harrowing, perilous business of making a feature film in post-invasion Baghdad.
"Iraq: War, Love, God and Madness" tells the story behind the making of Ahlaam, the second feature film shot in Iraq during the post-Saddam era. Caught between local militias, foreign fighters and suspicious American forces, Mohamed Al Darradji and his motley crew of volunteers face immense danger and huge hurdles as they try to make art in a war zone.


 



October 5th to 12th 2011

 

An international jury overview the sections of short films coming from all over the world.. We prefer documentaries which succeed in representing the complexity of reality and discover in a new way its sensible and perturbing aspects on the same time accentuating the ambivalent and enigmatic status of reality in avoiding sterotypes and simplifing conclusions.
