Iraq, 2010, 88 mins Director, Screenwriter: Oday Rasheed

Rasheed ('Underexposure') continues his exploration of daily life in post-Saddam Iraq. The film is set in contemporary Baghdad and ‘describes life in the depressing, angst-ridden city where tanks, bombs and gunfire have become part of the urban landscape. Set with claustrophobic intent inside a large house, the story of a disintegrating family forced to co-habit with a dangerous lodger often feels more like a stage play than a film' (Hollywood Reporter, 11/8/2010).

Ziad Khatlan is a film critic, author and film festival jurist. He was a jury member for the Gulf Film Festival (2009); Chief Programmer for the Dubai International Film Festival (2005); and a Senior Editor of Al-Quds Online (2008–2010).
