|
| Plot: | Eleven filmmakers from eleven countries reflect on the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in short films lasting 11 minutes, 9 seconds and 1 frame.
"Eleven filmmakers, eleven looks implicating their individual conscience"...
This film is a unique and extraordinary response to the catastrophic events in New York City that shook the world on September 11, 2001. The French film company Studio Canal invited 11 renowned international directors to create a film lasting eleven minutes, nine seconds and one frame - 11'09''01.
Each filmmaker's entry takes a different approach. It's not a pontificating and solemn commemoration of this historical event.
Samira Makhmalbaf (Iran)
An Iranian teacher tries to tell Afghan refugee schoolchildren about the towers collapsing. But the destruction of the twin towers is quite remote for them. She finds them uncomprehending. Some of them say "God doesn't destroy humans" ... "He doesn't have airplanes!" The teacher leads them out of the school to view the smoking chimney of a brick kiln, the tallest structure in the arid landscape.
Claude Lelouch (France)
It is a small drama set in New York, where a deaf girl and her boyfriend are struggling with their relationship when he leaves to take a deaf tour group to the World Trace Center. With her own world falling apart, she's not watching the images on the television in the next room.
Youssef Chahine (Egypt)
Director Youssef Chahine directs a surreal segment and plays himself. In his entry, Egyptian director Youssef Chahine, playing himself, meets with the ghosts of a Marine killed in the 1983 bombing of US barracks in Beirut and the suicide bomber who carried out the attack. The director counts up those killed by US policy in places such as Vietnam and Indonesia for the Marine. What upsets him, and what he questions, is how far from American ideals American leaders often deviate.
Danis Tanovic (Bosnia)
This story is contributed about the mourners of those killed in the vicious Balkan wars of the mid-1990s. Tanovic shows his home country in chaos--people wounded and grieving, unable to go home. in a still war-scarred and too-quiet town center women are preparing to demonstrate as usual. When they get the news from New York their march takes on a new meaning.
Idrissa Ouedraogo (Burkina-Faso)
some kids are convinced they saw Ben Laden in Ouagadougou; they foment a plan to capture him and obtain the $25 million reward promised by the US. With this money, they erect dreams of social progress, including health care.
Ken Loach (UK)
Ken Loach holds the United States responsible of the September 11th tragedy. Narrated by Vladimir Vega, a Chilean exile living in London, Loach's contribution compares the events of Sept. 11, 1973 in Chile to Sept. 11, 2001 in the United States. On another 911 a US-led coup bombed Santiago. Some 30,000 people, including the elected president Allende, were killed. It's a shameful episode, and it led to the brutal military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Mexico))
Inarritu takes an experimental approach, less a narrative than a sensory experience. It leaves the screen completely blank except for brief glimpses of the worst footage--people jumping from the towers. The soundtrack features a blend of music, voices and news reports.
"Does God's light guide us or blind us?"
Amos Gitai (Israel)
Gitai shows us the aftermath of a car bombing in Tel Aviv, but as the film crew cover the event they're told their footage won't go out because something has happened in New York.
Mira Nair (India)
It's a true story about a Pakistani family in New York looking for their missing son. Since he was a Muslim, everyone assumes he was a terrorist. But actually he is a hero.
Sean Penn (USA)
An old man lives in the memory of his late wife. His days pass, monotonous, until the day when the towers collapse near his apartment. The light penetrates his gloomy sanctuary and provokes in him a terrible awareness of loss.
Shohei Imamura (Japan)
A WWII veteran in Japan thinks he's a snake. His family can't figure him out and are repelled by his actions. The allegorical meaning is: There's no such thing as a holy war.

Una recreación de los hechos ocurridos durante la Guerra Civil en el pueblo obrero de Alsasua permite observar el posicionamiento de la Iglesia ante el conflicto bélico. A través de la mirada del joven párroco se percibe el dolor profundo de una guerra cruel entre hermanos y se pone en evidencia a una jerarquía eclesiástica que se aleja paulatinamente del Evangelio.

Nearly 75 percent of gas extraction operations are located inside a State Reserve for indigenous peoples living with little or no contact with the outside world, who have been forcibly contacted by the Camisea consortia in violation of their internationally recognized rights.

| Plot: | "This is a documentary with rare images of real life stories in the so-called asentamientos in the poor underbelly of Uruguay's capital, Montevideo, and in its youth jails. It centers on the life of a family and some of its teenage neighbors. Filmed at times by only one discreet camera, the documentary exposes the youth legal system and youth jails in Uruguay, as well as the daily lives of its former or future prisoners: teenage prostitutes, petty thieves, single mothers, and their miserable lives, contrasting with upper middle class neighborhoods. A former prostitute now "single" grandmother is a central character, being the mother of a few teenage criminals, a single mother who is also a prostitute, and a repeat offender who eventually dies of AIDS in jail, and whose burial we witness in the film."--IMDb.com.

| Plot: | "In December 2001 Argentina exploded with fury over the government's handling of the severe economic crisis that gripped the country. The protests that took place on December 19 and 20, which forced President Fernando De la Rua to step down, were primarily sparked by the devaluation of the peso after a decade of parity with the dollar. Since then the country has witnessed skyrocketing unemployment and poverty, but has also seen a resurgence in social consciousness and mobilization. This documentary explains the current crisis from its roots in the drastic neoliberal economic policies implemented in the early 1990s and follows the various movements that have surfaced in response to the situation. These new movements--the 'piquetero' protesters, factory takeovers, community soup kitches, and radical neighborhood associations--may have placed the future of the country back in the citizens' hands"--Distributor's web site.

| Plot: | A Spanish/Mexican co-production, Aro Tolbukhin En La Mente Del Asesino (In the Mind of a Killer) is a semi-documentary about the life of serial killer Aro Tolbukhin. Interviews and reenactments tell the story of a Hungarian man who was sentenced to death before a firing squad in Guatemala. He grew up in Budapest with his twin sister Stella and fled to join the merchant marines during the Russian invasion of 1956. After he was arrested for burning seven people alive in 1981, he confessed to nearly 20 other murders during the Guatemala Civil War. Commentary is provided by Carmen Beato, a former nun who lived with Tolbukhin in Alta Verapaz. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
En 1981 el húngaro Aro Tolbukhin es detenido por quemar vivas a siete personas en la enfermería de la Misión del Di-vino Redentor en Guatemala. Tras su detención, Aro Tol-bukhin confesó además haber asesinado a cinco mujeres y calcinar sus cadáveres. También se autoinculpó de los asesinatos de otras diecisiete mujeres, todas ellas embarazadas, realizados a lo largo de los quince años en que trabajó como marino mercante. En la in-vestigación judicial, al examinar los expedientes de estos casos que aún es-taban por resolver, no tardaron en encontrarse sustanciosas incoherencias que ponían en duda la autoría que Tolbukhin tanto insistía en atribuirse. Fue conde-nado a muerte. Poco antes de su ejecución Aro Tolbukhin es entrevistado por dos documentalistas franceses. A partir de este material la película intenta pro-fundizar en este personaje y en las causas de su comportamiento.
