| Trees Cry For Rain: A Sephardic Journey |
| Bonnie Burt Productions |
$40 |
|
The Darwish brothers fled Baghdad to Israel in the 1950s and established "Fantasia" - a menorah factory in Tel Aviv's industrial zone. Stirred by the bombing of Baghdad and Tel Aviv in the Gulf War of 1991, director Duki Dror - the son of the youngest of the three brothers - retraces his Iraqi roots. Faced with the reclusive silence of his father, Dror digs up bits of information about the family's past. Finally, his reluctant father divulges a long kept secret. A revelatory family portrait that balances humor with pain. A video diary that intersperses humorous moments with moving and revealing insights. |

“These two films tell, for the first time, the story of the Jewish communities of North Africa (Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco) during World War II. Extensive archival footage brings the history of this period to life. Stories from the survivors, now elderly, reveal how, without intervention, it was only “a matter of time” until they would share the fate of their co-religionists in Europe.” JTM Films, Israel. |

| Derrida |

$40 |
| Official Selection of Sundance Film Festival. An odd portrait of Jacques Derrida, one of the most polemical and influential theorists of the end of the 20th century, the filmmakers 'deconstruct' the French thinker's private and professional life, in an attempt to capture the processes of an inquisitive and iconoclastic mind which has greatly influenced our way of understanding the limits of language. |
