As seen on the sprawling big screen, director Lean's action-packed depiction of the shrouded and legendary life of T. E. Lawrence (O'Toole) features some of the most sweeping and majestic views of the desert and war on film. This winner of seven Academy Awards is also a study of one of the most complex heroes the screen has ever seen.

Homeland: Iraq Year Zero screening
2017-06-04 14:00 - 19:34 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Homeland: Iraq Year Zero (Abbas Fahdel, Iraq/France 2015, 334 min., DCP, Arabic w/subtitles).
In February 2002—about a year before the U.S. invasion—Iraqi filmmaker Abbas Fahdel traveled home from France to capture everyday life as his country prepared for war. He concentrated on family and friends, including his 12-year-old nephew, Haider, as they went about their daily lives, which had come to include planning for shortages of food, water, and power. No strangers to war, the Iraqis thought they understood what was coming and could even manage to be grimly humorous about what they felt would likely be a major and lengthy inconvenience. And then, the war began. When Fahdel resumed filming in 2003, two weeks after the invasion, daily activities had come to a near standstill, the city had become overrun with foreign soldiers, and many areas of Baghdad had been closed off to ordinary citizens. Iraqis endure, seemingly as unwitting as Americans themselves about what further tragedy awaits. Fahdel's epic yet intimate film paints a compelling portrait of people struggling to survive while their civilization, dating back to ancient times, is destroyed around them.
