Lundi Matin
Otar Iosseliani ( F, 2002, 122 min )
Every Monday morning Vincent begins the same monotonous routine. One-and-a-=
half hours of non-smoking transit to an uninspiring factory job. Back at ho=
me, family obligations always interrupt his passion for painting. Vincent c=
an't take another Monday morning! One day, Vincent decides to see a little =
of the world and travels to Venice. Maybe he'll find out exactly what's mis=
sing from his life…

September 11th
O.a. Sean Penn, Ken Loach, Shohei Imamura ( F, 2001, 135 min )

acks from 11 directors, including Sean Penn, Danis Tanovic and Ken Loach. E=
ach runs exactly 11 minutes, nine seconds and one frame.

The Day I Became A Woman
Marzieh Meshkini ( Iran, 2000, 78 min )
The Iranian film THE DAY I BECAME A WOMAN (ROOZI KHE ZAN SHODAM) tells thre=
e stories of women at different ages. Each story is a metaphor for the stru=
ggles that women, particularly Muslim women, endure. The movie starts with =
a story about a nine-year-old girl, follows it up with a story about a marr=
ied, middle-aged woman, and closes with a story about an elderly grandmothe=
r. Directed by Marzieh Meshkini, wife of legendary Iranian director Mohsen =
Makhmalbaf (BLACKBOARDS, KISH TALES), who is the writer of this film.

The Man Who Wasn't There
Joel Coen ( USA, 2001, 115 min )
Shot in black and white, THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE is an edgy film noir from=
the Minnesota-based Coen brothers, about an unhappy barber (Billy Bob Thor=
nton) living in California in the mid-1940s discovers that his wife (France=
s McDormand) has been unfaithful to him, and he creates a blackmailing sche=
me to teach her a lesson. But when his plan backfires, the story becomes em=
broiled in murderous plots and ugly consequences.

Donnie Darko
Richard Kelly ( USA, 2001, 112 min )
Donnie Darko would seem to be an average high school kid, except for his se=
lf-described "emotional problems". As it happens, Donnie has a problem slee=
pwalking, and has been seeing visions of a six-foot bunny who fills his hea=
d with stories of the impending end of the world, which will happen in just=
less than a month's time. This is the sort of thing one seeks therapy and =
medication for, and Donnie has plenty of both, but things take a strange tu=
rn one night when his imaginary friend lures him out of the house just befo=
re a jet engine crashes into his bedroom. If that weren't odd enough, no on=
e can quite explain where this engine came from, as there were no planes fl=
ying nearby at the time. Perhaps the bunny has a point after all? Only Donn=
ie can know for sure.

Ticket to Jerusalem
Rashid Masharawi ( Palestina/ Nederland, 2002, 85 min )
A Palestinian couple, Jaber and Sanah, lives in a refugee camp next to Rama=
llah. Against the background of the current situation of the occupation the=
y try to make something of their lives. He is running a mobile cinema throu=
gh the whole West Bank and she is a volunteer with the emergency service of=
the Red Crescent Society. Jaber is invited by a woman school teacher, Raba=
b, to make a screening in the old city of Jerusalem. Despite many difficult=
ies he starts to investigate the possibilities for this screening. By doing=
this he gets involved in the problems of the old mother of Rabab who lives=
in Jerusalem and tries to keep her house free from Israeli settlers. The r=
elation of Jaber and Sanah becomes very tense because Sanah gets the feelin=
g that Jaber is not telling her everything about his motives to take risks =
by going up and down to Jerusalem.
