The 23rd Leeds International Film Festival runs from November 4th till the 22nd. There are more movies than ever and I think this is the strongest programme for several years. What promises to be particularly interesting is the selection 20 Years of German Reunification. There are a number of promising titles in this slot, plus [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=itpworld.wordpress.com&blog=3802717&post=2494&subd=itpworld&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This film focuses on why the US invaded Iraq from the claim it was involved in 9/11 to Bush&#8217;s statement that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with that &#8216;watershed&#8217; attack. However it contextualises these years by explaining America&#8217;s neo-colonialist project throughout the 20th century and bookends the film with Eisenhower&#8217;s swansong speech as President [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=itpworld.wordpress.com&blog=3802717&post=2482&subd=itpworld&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I really enjoyed this film. A touch too schmaltzy perhaps but I&#8217;m prepared to forgive writer-director George Tillman Jr when the characters are as well drawn as these and the ensemble playing is so good. This is a genuine family melodrama which would not have shamed Hollywood in its classical melodrama period.
The narrative is female [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=itpworld.wordpress.com&blog=3802717&post=2425&subd=itpworld&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The story is very simple, but begins with a flashforward – or possibly it begins &#8216;now&#8217; and then proceeds as a flashback for half the film&#8217;s short [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=itpworld.wordpress.com&blog=3802717&post=2446&subd=itpworld&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t quite what I was expecting and it raised questions about how it might be categorised. It&#8217;s officially a Pakistani film. Director Mehreen Jabbar left Pakistan for UCLA and returned to work in Pakistani television. This was her first feature with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=itpworld.wordpress.com&blog=3802717&post=2433&subd=itpworld&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
