Stockholm Film Festival

Eleven directors, eleven visions, eleven minutes, nine seconds and one frame, each with the common theme of the World Trade Center attacks. From different countries and cultures, this melting pot of short stories unfolds the range of effect and importance that one day in September 2001 has left on the world. The different segments are immensely disparate in their methods. Some are documentary (by Ken Loach and Alejandro lnarritul, some are semi-documentary using actors to portray real people (by Sam ira Makhmalbaf, Amos Gita'i and Mira Nair) while others are totally theatrical (by Claude Lelouch, Danis Tanovic, Idrissa Ouedraogo, Sean Penn and Shohei Imamura). And then there is Youssef Chahine, somewhere in between, with his selfreflective discussion on terrorism. The width and depth of the segments are impressive. With a unison anti-war approach, the films discuss love, loss, politics, moral, religion and economics without stepping on each other's toes. Loach's reflection on international politics and the military dictatorship in Chile is as important as Ouedraogo's slightly comical statement about world economics and some boys' hunt for Usama Bin Laden in Burkina Faso. No film is unnecessary. In its mosaic and intercultural form, the film successfully manages to express subjectivity in a global extent.
