Description
Shawkat Amin Korki’s clever and engaging ‘Memories on Stone’ is about a fictional director’s attempt to make ‘Anfal’, a story about the genocidal campaign waged by Saddam Hussein on the Kurds of Iraq. But making a film in post-war Kurdistan is far from easy! A tragicomedy view on filmmaking in a war-affected country, at its core, this film makes a compelling demand that the victims of Saddam’s ethnic cleansing be honoured and that their terrible fate is never forgotten.
