I'm a very proud dad besides being an addict when it comes to films on
discs. Don't ask how many films in my collection but way over 10,000.
My son says I didn't talk to him until he told me he was going to be a director.
So I hope any HTForum memeber in NYC or visiting
will check out my son's film coming to the Film Forum in July.
FULL BATTLE RATTLE at Film Forum in New York City
It's a doc called FULL BATTLE RATTLE. Opened at the Berlinale where
Karen Cooper, the Director and President of the Film Forum board, saw
the film and grabbed it for her wondrous, unique house.
From Berlin, it went on to play at Austen's SXSW where it won the
Special Jury Award. It was shown at Hot Docs in Toronto and Full Frame
in North Carolina, and now is being shown around the world from
Istanbul to Jerusalem to Maui to Buenos Aires to Shefield, UK.
Full Battle Rattle
The London Times has called the film "a peach of a doc..utterly
stunning. It would be a sublime satire if it wasn't horrifically true."
Anthony Kaufman, who's written so perceptively on Iraq cinema in the
Village Voice, reviews FBR in the summer issue of UTNE Reader.
"More Catch 22 than No End in Sight. Full Battle Rattle proves not
only that truth is stranger than fiction, but that the two are also
impossible to tell apart."
Kaufman adds:
"The wry, provocative documentary... reveals just as much about
America's mislaid plans as any on-the-ground report from Baghdad."
There's an unannounced Q&A with the directors just for my movie
buddies on July 10th after the 6:15pm screening. Come say hello. Love
to meet any and all of this troop. And thank you kindly for reading.
And thanks for letting me post this recent family pride.
Here's the most recent trailer.
