SCREENING: Iraqi Odyssey

SCREENING: Iraqi Odyssey 
Wednesday 6th May, 6.30pm

Dir Samir Jamal Al Din
Free Screening - RSVP Essential

Bombs, war, angry bearded men, shrouded sobbing women, shattered cities: Iraq, as seen through the eyes of the western media these days.

These images are juxtaposed with those from the fifties and seventies: films with frivalous music, unveiled women who study, elegantly dressed men in Baghdad, a modern city.

How did it come to this?

Film director Samir Jamal al Din tells the story of his globalized middle-class Iraqi family, scattered between Auckland, Moscow, Paris, London and New York.

Doors: 6.30pm
Screening: 7.00pm
