Voices Of Iraq
''Voices of Iraq'' is a 2004 documentary film about Iraq, created by distributing cameras to the subjects of a film, thus enabling subjects to film themselves. To preserve its innovative filmmaking, ''Voices of Iraq'' was added to the permanent collection of Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences. Producer Eric Manes explained, "Without Iraqis as the directors, we would have seen Iraq and its people only through the filter of Western eyes. We certainly would not have had the access or the emotional intimacy that was captured in the film." Euphrates, an Iraqi Anglo hip-hop group, scored the soundtrack. The film was released theatrically in the United States and internationally and created a new genre of filmmaking termed Documentary swarm. Production ''Movie Maker Magazine'' asked the producers, "Voices of Iraq is truly a groundbreaking film—both in terms of its content and the process behind its production. What was your main mission in creating this film?" Eric Mane ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bang Rajan (film)
''Bang Rajan'' () is a 2000 Thai historical drama film depicting the battles of the Siamese village of Bang Rachan (alternate spelling) against the Burmese invaders in 1767, as remembered in popular Thai culture.

Après La Vie
(After the Life; also known in UK as Trilogy: Three) is a 2002 Lucas Belvaux film with his own script. It is the final installment of a series ''Trilogy'', which constitutes a melodrama preceded by ''Un couple épatant'', a comedy and ''Cavale'', a thriller (genre), thriller. Belvaux referred in the DVD commentary that main idea behind ''Trilogy'' is that the main characters in a particular story are the secondary characters of others, in such sense the three films happen at the same time and share a series of common scenes and plot points, complementing each other, but also have their own perspective and style. The audience is left with piecing the films together, which Belvaux avoided, since editing the three films into one single narrative would have resulted in a very long film with no style of its own. Cast Plot Police Inspector Pascal Manise walks into a bar (establishment), bar where he gets morphine from Freddy, a former drug dealer, dealer of Jacquillat, a drug lor ...
