Your Chance To Win Foreign Puppies Reading Comic Books In The Darkness Of Space

Start: July 18th, 2005
End: July 24th, 2005

• A Moment Of Innocence, courtesy New Yorker Films
A poetic and often comic re-construction of an incident that dramatically affected the lives of two people. In 1974, director Mohsen Makhmalbaf, then a 17-year-old rebel against the Shah's regime, stabbed a young policeman during a botched attempt to steal the cop's gun. Makhmalbaf spent five reflective years in prison, and was freed after the Islamic revolution. While making an earlier film, Makhmalbaf met the same policeman, who showed up and declared he wanted to be an actor. In re-creating their violent encounter for film, it becomes clear that each man had a unique perspective on the events of that fateful day. Two lucky winners will each experience A MOMENT OF INNOCENCE, courtesy of the karmic forces at New Yorker Films.

• The Silence, courtesy New Yorker Films
From one of Iran's most celebrated filmmakers, comes a hypnotic symphony of visual and aural rhythms. The Silence follows the life of Khorshid, a blind 10-year old boy who experiences the world through sound. Khorshid earns money tuning musical instruments. Nadereh, the beautiful young protegee of the instrument maker, acts as his eyes. About to lose his job and his home, Khorshid creates a world where he can be happy; where hypnotic sounds and the music of the world shows him how to experience life. Two lucky winners will each experience THE SILENCE, courtesy of the auditory impressionists at New Yorker Films.
