OPERATION FILMMAKER premiere at IFC Center, New York on June 4th
L Schreiber&Muthana
In the wake of Operation Iraqi Freedom, American actor Liev Schreiber had an idealistic thought: rescue an Iraqi film student from the rubble of his country and bring him to Prague to work on his new film, Everything is Illuminated. What promises to be a heartwarming tale quickly becomes a mirror of the complex intercultural realities that have plagued the United States' war in Iraq. Director Nina Davenport sets out to document Schreiber's well-intentioned effort but soon finds herself embroiled in an escalating power struggle between herself as filmmaker and her young Iraqi subject.
