These images are juxtaposed with those from the fifties and seventies: films with frivolous music, unveiled women who study; elegantly dressed men in Bagdad, a modern city. How did it come to this? Film director Samir tells the story of his globalised middle-class Iraqi family, scattered between Auckland, Moscow, Paris, London and Buffalo, New York.   Filmography: - Filmography: ·        2014 Iraqi Odyssey ·        2010 Der Engel und die Fibonacci-Zahlen ·        2005 Snow White ·        2004 Zwischensprach ·        2002 Forget Baghdad – Jews And Arabs – The Iraqi Connection ·        2001 Norman Plays Golf ·        1999 Die Helden ·        1998 Projecziuns Tibetanas ·        1997 Angélique (Blind Date) ·        1997 Balko ·        1997 La eta knabino au kiel oni trovas ian helpon ·          Festivals and Awards: ·        Gijón, 53° Festival internacional de Cine de Gijon, 20.11.2015 – 28.11.2015  ·        Tallinn, 19th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, 13.11.2015 – 29.11.2015  ·        Cairo, 37th Cairo International Film Festival, 11.11.2015 – 20.11.2015  ·        Duisburg, 39.

However, after implementing the policy of child planning, the population declined sharply. As the economy is developing rapidly in the city, farmers leave their villages to earn their living in the city, which leads to the closure of one school after another. The camera always at eye level, revealing sensitive insights into a Chinese schoolchild´s life.     Filmography:     Gone (Li Kai) / 2015 The Birth / 2014 The promoter / 2011 Shuai Jun`s Childhood / 2010     Festivals and Awards: Official selection by Freiburg Filmforum 2015 in Germany, FID Marseille 2015 in France, Yamagata documentary film festival 2015 in Japan.     ]]> Special Screenings Wed, 21 Oct 2015 13:33:40 GMT http://old.irandocfest.ir/en/news/954/gone
