"Droll, entertaining....Not since Luis Buñuel have we had such a wonderful joke on do-gooder liberalism." - Gerald Perry, Boston Phoenix
"In this mix of tragedy and farce, Davenport perfectly captures the follies of our times." - Thom Powers, Toronto International Film Festival
In the midst of "Operation Iraqi Freedom" Hollywood actor/director Liev Schreiber decides to assuage his feelings of Western guilt by inviting a young Iraqi film student to be an intern on his upcoming shoot. Documentary maker Nina Davenport is invited to film what everyone imagines will be a heart-warming cultural exchange, however when Muthana arrives on set, it quickly becomes apparent that there will be no Hollywood ending. As tensions mount and with no exit strategy in place, Davenport finds herself at the centre of a power struggle between filmmaker and subject which seems to echo the war itself...
New York based filmmaker Nina Davenport’s previous films Hello Photo, Always a Bridesmaid and Parallel Lines have garnered numerous awards and her work has screened here in the UK on BBC’s Storyville and Channel 4. Operation Filmmaker furthers her personal style of filmmaking.
