VIFF Screenings Day 4

The War Symphonies: Shostavkovich Against Stalin (Canada) 1997

Mozartballs (Canada) 2006

Our Own Private Bin Laden (USA) 2006

Rampage (Australia) 2006


The War Symphonies are Dmitri Shostakovich's symphonies four to nine which he wrote as an attack against Joseph Stalin. Excellent in how it showed Shostakovich's life and hearing the symphonies being played. Beautiful.


Mozartballs is about 4 individuals that are truly fans of Mozart. Interesting, but strange characters.


Our Own Private Bin Laden tries to figure out how we got Bin Laden against. There is no news like old news.


Rampage is about an African-American family from Miami and the struggles that they go through. One of the ones is murdered during the filming of the documentary. It also shows how the filmmaker is trying to help the family. Overly loooong.
