SIFF 2008 > Heavy Metal in Baghdad
Filmmakers Eddy Moretti and Suroosh Alvi produced this incredible documentary about exiled Iraqi metal band Acrassicauda, chronicling their modest yet brave start in Iraq before the American-led war on the country to their humble new beginnings in Damascus, Syria. Iraqi metal is relatively unknown, and the band Acrassicauda -- whose name is Latin for "black scorpion" -- formed to harness young energy and enthusiasm towards metal, a scene that is mostly off the radar. Inspired by American and European metal bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Mayhem, Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer, Acrassicauda trumps all metal bands for their genuine experiences playing a rare concert at the hotel near the highly fortified Green Zone and rehearsing with mortar fire in the distance. How hardcore can you get?
Band members eventually moved out of Baghdad following Hussein's toppled regime in 2003 and the subsequent bombing of the building that was their rehearsal space for 6 years. Resettling in Damascus, the band continues to struggle with their music aspirations, family lives, and eke out a living as ex-pat Iraqis in Syria. Will Acrassicauda find a new fan base for metal in Damascus?
"Heavy Metal in Baghdad" recently screened at the Seattle International Film Festival over Memorial Day Weekend.

Dreamspeakers Film Festival - 4-7 June 2008, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Filmmaker Georgina Lightning's film "Older Than America" will have its Canadian premiere at the Dreamspeakers Film Festival in Edmonton.

Each June the Dreamspeakers Film Festival -- International Television & Film Festival -- offers contemporary indigenous film, video and television at Canada's significant Aboriginal film festival and industry conference. Established in the early 1990s, the Dreamspeakers Film Festival has brought together filmmakers, film producers, television programmers, educators, screenwriters, actors, and film enthusiasts together in Edmonton, the Festival City. Conference speakers will address topics about new media, indigenous broadcasting, and explore Aboriginal film and television in Australia and New Zealand.

FILM > Ari Folman's journey into a heart of darkness
At Cannes, Israeli filmmaker Ari Folman's animated feature documentary "Waltz with Bashir" explores the traumatic events Israeli soldiers experienced from the 1982 Israeli incursion in Lebanon. The film reveals the dramatic events of the invasion, particularly the Christian Phalangist militia's massacre of Palestinians at refugee camps in Sabra and Shatila in front of Israeli troops.
Folman's autobiographical film inspired from his repressed recollections of his war-time youth pieces together a mosaic of collective memories from his army buddies to shape the film's narrative. Folman says that "animation was the only way to tell this story; I was sure of that." "Waltz with Bashir", like Marjane Satrapi's film adaptation of her illustrated novels about growing up in Tehran and later in Vienna, captures a coming-of-age story on the cusp of pivotal change on the world's stage.
Read more in Joan Dupont's essay on Ari Folman's film screened at Cannes 2008 published in the International Herald Tribune (19 May 2008).
