Blood of My Brother
This is the closest most will come to war-torn Iraq: kneeling in prayer amidst a thousand Muslim worshippers or driving with fighters to attack American positions. We see blood in the streets, a tank on fire, the cold stare of a dead Iraqi fighter. Today at 19.30 at Cinestar 11

Iraq in Fragments
American director James Longley spent more than two years in Iraq to create this documentary as seen through the eyes of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds. The film won Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Editing at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
Today at 14.15 at Cinestar 8

TV is Coming
Moncef Dhouib's film aims to go beyond local satire to question what he calls "a more universal subject, the longstanding misunderstanding that exists between Tunisia and the West".
The film contains strong language.
