H-GENDER-MIDEAST From: Women Make Movies Educate <educate@WMM.com> Date: 20 Nov 2009 22:46:22 GMT+02:00 I thought members of this list would be interested to know about two new documentaries from Women Make Movies screening at the Middle East Studies Association annual meeting in Boston, November 21-24. As you may know, Women Make Movies is a non-profit media arts organization and the world's leading distributor of independent films by and about women. Powerful and relevant teaching tools, ARUSI Persian Wedding provides further insight into Iran's complex history and people; MY ISRAEL stands as a critical and deeply personal Israeli-perspective on Israeli-Palestinian issues. ***ARUSI Persian Wedding With unique perspective, intimate storytelling, and rich historical footage, Iranian-American filmmaker Marjan Tehrani brings to life a compelling examination of U.S.-Iranian relations through the personal journey of her brother Alex and his fiancée Heather's trip to Iran to hold a traditional Persian wedding.
