Erbil, Kurdistan
Region (Iraq), November 21, -– Kurdish director
Shawkat Amin Kouli said on Tuesday his movie
"Crossing Through Dust" would take part in the Cairo
international film festival in Egypt later this
month.
The movie, set in post-war Iraq, will be shown
outside the official competition of the festival
which opens on November 28, said.
The film, which will have its debut in Cairo, will
not participate in the contest because it arrived
too late for the jurors, he added.
Kouli said he hoped to show the film at Netherlands'
Rotterdam film festival.
Producer Hassan Ali said the movie was produced by
the regional government of Iraqi Kurdistan in
collaboration with Nareen Film Company.
The film tells the story of Peshmerga, local Kurdish
fighters (Kurdistan National Guards), entering an
Iraqi town during the 2003 war. Two of the fighters
find a child who has lost his way and one of them
dies in their attempt to save him.
