Gearing folks up for Burning Man, DOC NITE PRESENTS

"FIREFALL: Road to Burning Man"

(2004, 88min) Dir. Alessandro Gentile
A feature-length documentary chronicling the creation of a
large-scale sculpture from its concept to its unveiling. Berkeley
artist Kiki Pettit is chosen to create the keyhole project at Burning
Man 2002, as the film follows her on a journey of endless
challenges...from aesthetics to logistics, and even the mundane. All
of these challenges must be overcome if she hopes to realize her
surreal vision of a 14-ft copper fountain that flows fire on water.

DOC NITE PRESENTS

¨IRAQ IN FRAGMENTS¨
(2006, 94 min) Dir. James Longley

An opus in three parts, Iraq In Fragments offers a series of intimate, passionately-felt portraits: A fatherless 11-year-old is apprenticed to the domineering owner of a Baghdad garage; Sadr followers in two Shiite cities rally for regional elections while enforcing Islamic law at the point of a gun; a family of Kurdish farmers welcomes the US presence, which has allowed them a measure of freedom previously denied.

American director James Longley spent more than two years filming in Iraq to create this stunningly photographed, poetically rendered documentary of the war-torn country as seen through the eyes of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds. Winner of Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Editing awards in the 2006 Sundance Film Festival documentary competition, the film was also awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the 2006 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.
