Winner of a Locarno jury prize, FORGET BAGHDAD tells the forgotten story of four Baghdadi-Jews, all former members of the Iraqi communist party who were forced to emigrate at Israel s founding. Iraqi-born, Zurich-based director Samir (BABYLON 2) achieves a density of ideas and images that extend the boundaries of the documentary form, fashioning a story at once timely and thought-provoking (VARIETY).
The four elderly protagonists (all now successful Israelis) were influenced in their youth by the internationalism of the Iraqi communist party. But in the early 1950s, their Jewish identity put them at odds with the rising Arab nationalism so characteristic of the decade. Fleeing to Israel was hardly a solution, as the men found themselves on the outskirts of a society built and governed by European Jews. Jews in Baghdad and Arabs in Israel, the divided identities and confusion of these four men's lives tell a much larger tale of global, political and cultural disorder.
Featuring interviews with renowned cultural studies scholar Ella Shohat, Forget Baghdad is suitable for instruction in world cinema, Middle East and postcolonial studies as well as Jewish, Hebrew, or Arabic studies.
