From Iraqi Kurdistan: a comedy (albeit very dark) from one of the world’s most troubled countries: problems escalate when two friends decide to make a film about the mass slaughter of Kurds in Iraq in 1982.
Some of their troubles resonate for filmmakers anywhere: inadequate budget, temperamental stars, censorship, weather. But others are specific: smuggling an actress by donkey across a border, a rogue insanely jealous of his fiancee's scenes with another man, and more. A work of great visual and comedic flair, winner of many international festival awards.
