WALKING TO WERNER (93 mins)

8.pm–9.30
COMPADRE 90 mins.
Director: Mikael Wistrom
Spanish. English subtitles.
The subject of this highly subjective film, Daniel Barrientos, met the director, Mikael Wistrom, first in 1974 while struggling to stay alive as a garbage picker in Peru. Their friendship grew and in 1992 was celebrated in The Other Shore which chronicled his survival while raising a family in abject poverty. Compadre is the sequel but digs deeper in the strain caused by the disparity in wealth between subject and filmmaker.

9.30–10pm
Panel Discussion Paticipation t.b.a.

10–11pm
OUR OWN PRIVATE BIN LADEN 63 mins.
Director: Samira Goetschel. English.
Samira started with the urge to discover the story behind the headlines, trying to understand the rise of Islamic militant fundamentalism that lead to the 9/ll turning point in history. Her private quest reveals much of the current and not-so-hidden war over economics resources despite the obvious propaganda smokescreen of the so called ìwar on terrorî and the media’s spotlight on Bin Laden. Named Best Foreign Documentary and Best Film of the Festival at the 2006 European Independent Film Festival in Paris.
