Embedded Film Festival Featuring the Following Titles
from
Women Make Movies (Scheduling Details TBA)
http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c704.shtml
BELFAST
GIRLS is a quiet, powerful story of two young women growing up in a city where
neighbors are cut off from each other by permanent concrete and corrugated iron
screens. These so-called “peace walls” have also become mental walls, dividing
one community from another. Living in different worlds within the same city,
Mairéad Mc Ilkenny and Christine Savage share the legacy of 30 years of
conflict in
For 20-year-old Catholic Mairéad, childhood memories of brutal arrests of her
father at night and a constant fear for her life mix with wonderings what the
“other side” looks like. She has never gotten to know a Protestant in her
entire life – until the day her flatmate starts a new relationship. Suddenly
“the other side” has moved into her house. Christine is Protestant and walks on
the other side of the wall, dreaming about a house of her own and a boy to
love. When she finally finds him, he’s a Catholic. Both girls find the courage
to defy the legacy of separation handed down to them, creating a more hopeful
future for themselves.
THE SERMONS OF SISTER JANE:
Believing the Unbelievable .
http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c700.shtml
From Oscar
and Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Allie Light and Irving Saraf ( Dialogues
With Madwomen and In The Shadow of The Stars ), in partnership with
Carol Monpere, also an Emmy Award-winner, comes their latest film, The
Sermons Of Sister Jane: Believing the Unbelievable . This documentary is an
engaging portrait that sparkles with the courage, wit and humanity of Sister
Jane Kelly, who combines her deep spiritual faith with her equally powerful
commitment towards resistance and change.
When Sister Jane discovered that a priest in her church was molesting young men
and stealing from the congregation, and when the evidence was ignored by the
church, she contacted the press, creating a scandal. Throughout the film she
shares her progressive views on issues such as birth control, homosexuality,
and women priests. She impels the Catholic Church to return to egalitarian
roots of community. The scenes filmed at Plowshares, an organization she created
to feed and serve the poor and homeless, demonstrate Sister Jane’s powerful
ability to translate her faith into profoundly meaningful action. This touching
documentary, skillfully produced by these acclaimed filmmakers, reveals Sister
Jane’s long struggle to speak out against what she believed was wrong, and how
this ongoing battle ultimately has heart-breaking results.
THEY CALL ME MUSLIM
http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c698.shtml
In
popular Western imagination, a Muslim woman in a veil – or hijab – is a symbol
of Islamic oppression. But what does it mean for women’s freedom when a
democratic country forbids the wearing of the veil? In this provocative
documentary, filmmaker Diana Ferrero portrays the struggle of two women – one
in France and one in Iran – to express themselves freely.
In 2004, the French government instituted an "anti-veil law,"
forbidding Muslim girls from wearing the hijab to school. Samah, a teenager in
Paris who, at 14 decided to wear the veil, explains how the law attacks her
sense of identity – and does not make her feel liberated. “Who says that
freedom is not wearing anything on your head?” she asks. Half a world away in

3 TIMES DIVORCED is a fascinating and disturbing look at a civil and religious
legal system that denies women the right to get a divorce independent of their
husbands. It highlights the bind that abused women find themselves in when
their immigration status is contingent upon marriage. With remarkable access
and an unflinching lens that never sensationalizes, award-winning filmmaker
Ibtisam Salh Mara'ana captures Khitam’s astonishing courage as she faces an
impossible situation with no country or court to protect her.
MY
DAUGHTER THE TERRORIST
http://www.wmm.com/filmcatalog/pages/c714.shtml
A film by Beate Arnestad .
Produced by
This
fascinating documentary is an exceedingly rare, inside look at an organization
that most of the world has blacklisted as a terrorist group. Made by the first
foreign film crew to be given access to the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) of Sri Lanka,
the film offers important insights into the recently re-ignited conflict in Sri
Lanka.
Twenty-four-year-olds Dharsika and Puhalchudar have been living and fighting
side-by-side for seven years as part of LTTE’s elite force, the Black Tigers.
Their story is told through cinema verité footage, newsreel footage, and
interviews with the women and Dharsika’s mother. The women describe
heartbreaking traumas they both experienced at the hands of the Sri Lankan army,
which led them to join the guerrilla forces. As they discuss their readiness to
become suicide bombers and their abiding loyalty to the unnamed “Leader” – who
they are sure would never harm civilians – grisly images of past LTTE suicide
bombings provide somber counterpoints. Their curiously flat affects raise the
possibility that they have been brainwashed. This even-handed documentary sheds
light on the reasons that the Tamil Tigers continue their bloody struggle for
independence while questioning their tactics.
