Films Distribution & Mercure International at Cannes Film Festival 2004 Earth & Ashes A film by Atiq Rahimi Official Selection - Un Certain Regard - Cannes 2004 Synopis : Dastaguir sits on the side of the road, his young grandson, Yassin, at his side. A desolate Afghan landscape stretches out all around him a half-demolished bridge, a dry riverbed below and a dusty road that reaches its vanishing point on the horizon. That road leads to a far-off coalmine, Dastaguirs dreaded destination. He is on a painful journey to see his son, the childs father, who works in the mines. He must tell him that their village has been bombed and his entire family killed. The old man is torn between his own remorse, his unbearable solitude and codes of honor deeply engrained in the Afghan soul. As he struggles with so many conflicting emotions, Dastaguir encounters several strangers along the way. Theres the sentry house guard, the philosophical roadside merchant, the mysterious veiled woman who waits endlessly, and other victims of this nameless war that goes on somewhere off-screen. Starring Abdul Ghani, Jawan Mard Homayoun, Tallosh Walli.

Solanas Synopis : The dramatic circumstances which we are living out bring me back to my very beginnings in the cinema, thirty-five years ago, when my search for a political identity and my desire to struggle against the dictatorship led me to shoot The Hour of the Furnaces. Circumstances have greatly changed, but the consequences of the neo-liberal plan have today proved so disastrous that, once again, I am forced to bear witness to memories and testimonies by composing a living fresco based on what we have supported and endured over the past twenty-five years, from Videla's dictatorship to today. It is in this manner that I wish to contribute to the urgent debate that Argentina, Latin America and the world at large are conducting, which, as its driving force, the certainty that, faced with dehumanized globalization, "another world is possible".
