The end of (making) a film is just the beginning of a movement
More blog entries will follow as I try to recover from the warmth and love at all of the screenings in Toronto-even our last show at midnight on Saturday (September 15, 2007) was packed with an incredibly receptive audience. It was a privilege to have some of the subjects of the film: Muhsin, Mazen and Payam present at the screenings. (Payam came on Saturday night and that meant that there were subjects present at all of our three screenings). Our Screenings at the Rio International Film Festival begin this weekend.
