British film courts controversy by fabricating Bush assassination
31/08/2006 1:39:07 PM
A controversial British film that fabricates the assassination of U.S. President George Bush will screen at the Toronto International Film Festival and air on a BBC channel later this fall.
CBC Arts
The film Death of a President, produced by Gabriel Range, Simon Finch and Ed Guiney, combines real news and documentary footage with acted scenes to create the story.
The 90-minute film takes the form of a fictional documentary looking back at the assassination of Bush in October 2007 in Chicago.
In the film, Bush is confronted by a massive demonstration against the Iraq war when he arrives in Chicago and is gunned down by a sniper as he leaves a speech.
The hunt for the killer focuses on a Syrian-born man, Jamal Abu Zikri, giving an opportunity to explore issues of the political climate in the U.S. amid the war on terror.
Actors play fictional secret service agents and aides who recall the shooting in interviews recorded for the retrospective documentary.
TIFF reviewer Noah Cowan calls the film "dangerous and breathtakingly original," and says Range does a masterful job of integrating the real and the fictional, using special effects.
On the TIFF program, which starts Sept. 7, the film is referred to as D.O.A.P.
Peter Dale, head of More4, the BBC digital channel airing the film Oct. 9, called it a "thought-provoking critique" of contemporary U.S. political realities.
"It's an extraordinarily gripping and powerful piece of work, a drama constructed like a documentary that looks back at the assassination of George Bush as the starting point for a very gripping detective story," he said.
Dale acknowledged that the film describes an unwelcome scenario and could be considered provocative.
"I'm sure that there will be people who will be upset by it, but when you watch it you realize what a sophisticated piece of work it is," he said.
Range and Finch have done two similar projects for BBC2, both of them critiques of Britain's body politic that combined real footage with fictional disaster story.
The Day Britain Stopped shows a complete failure of U.K. transit systems after a rail strike and plane crash coincide. The Man Who Broke Britain posits a Britain in financial turmoil after oil prices peak and a shady trader loses millions for a major bank.

For anyone who has never checked this out I highly recommend it. The director of the movie is there and after the showing will get up and do a Q and A about the movie. Interesting to be able to ask them the questions immediately after the movie instead of going home and wondering "why the hell did they do that?"
Check out eye and now, they both usually put together fairly good film fest reviews with schedules and reviews of what to see.
I just scored a couple free tix to any movie, guess i'll be checking it out..

I go every year for as long as I can remember. The bad part is I drew 3rd last in the lottery this year, so my chances are slim to get all my picks.
My choices include...
Borat
Paris je t'aime
Babel
Love and Other Disasters
The Fountain
Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights-Hollywood to the Heartland
For those who had coupon books, they will email your results tomorrow evening. Good luck.
Last year was the first year I was around for this. It was only for a few days that I went out, but it was definatly fun. I wish I could have been there for the whole thing. I'm a celebrity freak!
oh good god...one of my picks is at 10 am the morning after danny howells.
haha. thank god all i have to do is sit there in the dark and watch stuff.
Its all about the Borat movie
How do I get my hands on tickets for 'Borat'?
Thanks
Borat is sold out. I tried getting them myself through the lottery. The only way to get them now is through the RUSH line.
Rush Tickets:
* Think the film you want to see is sold out? Maybe not � check the rush lines.
* When advance tickets are sold out, a line of non-ticket holders forms outside of the theatre. This is known as the Rush Line.
* If seats become available, the Festival�s Theatre Representative may allow people from the Rush Line to purchase tickets, or exchange an appropriate pass or coupon to gain admittance.
You will probably have to start waiting in line a couple of hours before the show starts to get a chance at a ticket. You can try, but I'll wait for the nation wide release date on November 3rd.
The festival is showing Borat twice; midnight Thursday or Saturday @ 1.15pm.
