WED, 23/04: GERMAN CINEMA: GOODBYE LENIN
Eastern Germany in 1990, to protect his fragile mother from a fatal shock after a long coma; a young man must keep her from learning that her beloved nation of East Germany as she knew it has disappeared. (In English, 2003, 121 min)
THU, 24/04: GERMAN CINEMA: MUXMAEUSCHENSTILL
Dieser pseudo-dokumentarischer Film von Marcus Mittermeier, der sich mit dem Widerspruch zwischen gut gemeinten moralischen Ansprüchen und deren exzessiver Durchsetzung durch Selbstjustiz befasst. Eine intelligente rabenschwarze Komödie, die das moralische Empfinden brüskiert und kontroverse Diskussionen herausfordert. (In German/ in Deutsch, 2004, 89min)
FRI, 25/04: PHNOM PENH DOCFEST: FROM HOLLYWOOD TO HANOI
This is the first American film shot in Vietnam by Vietnamese-American filmmaker Tiana. Interweaving personal history and candid interviews with such historic figures as the legendary North Vietnamese Army commander Vo Nguyen Giap and Nobel Price winner Le Duc Tho. The film exemplifies Tiana's mission of healing and reconcilation. (1993, 80 min)
SAT, 26/04: FOCUS CAMBODIA: CAMBODIA, KAMPUCHEA
James Gerrand documentary draws on unique propaganda film and archival material from the Khmer Rouge, Vietnam and other sources. This is set against the grim realities of the Kampuchean tragedy. As a continuing theme, the film features exclusive interviews with Prince Sihanouk, who offers explanations for and insights into the role he has played (and still plays) in the fate of his luckless country. (In English, 1986, 78 min)
SUN, 27/04 SET IN ASIA: AT FIVE IN THE AFTERNOON
One of the first post-Taliban films made in Afghanistan, this film by an Iranian director won the Jury Prize at Cannes in 2004. The film follows Noqreh as she struggles to redefine her role as a woman despite the protestations of her cranky, conservative father. As Noqreh's father drags her and her sister across the bombed out dustbowl of Kabul in search of her missing brother, it becomes clear that international intervention has done little to solve the country's problems.
