Erbil, Kurdistan region (Iraq), February 10,
-- Kurdish movie Crossing Dust, directed by Shaukat
Korki, is participating in two international film
festivals in Euroe after it won acclaim in the Cairo
International Film Festival (CIFF), an official
source said on Saturday.
"The movie is now taking part in the Rotterdam film
festival in the Netherlands and the international
friendship festival in Belgium," film director
Shakhuan Idris of the cinema department in the Iraqi
Kurdistan region's culture ministry, said.
The movie, produced by the culture ministry in the
Iraqi Kurdistan region's government in 2006, is
telling the story of an Iraqi child called Saddam,
who got lost in Kurdistan during the 2003 war.
The child's family starts searching for him but when
the child's name is revealed, the people around
decline to give a hand.
A Kurdish peshmerga fighter, however, sympathizes
with the child and decides he must get the child
back to his family but in the end the man gets
killed in the way.
Shot in the Kurdish city of Erbil and surrounding
areas, the film was ranked by the CIFF preparatory
committee as "controversial."
