Full Plot Details

An innovative 'magic realist' documentary set in Iraq. Filmmaker Mark Cousins, who was brought up in a Northern Irish war zone, travels to Goptapa, a Kurdish-Iraqi village of just 700 people on a tributary of the Tigris river, and tries to make a dream film about a place that is normally only portrayed in current affairs programmes. He gives the kids cameras. They make little movies about war, love, a fish that goes to a magical place, and a chicken who debates justice. Despite the production being stopped twice by the Iraqi secret police, The First Movie is about wonder and the power of the imagination.

User Review - 10/10 by Joe XThis documentary simply reminds me why I fell in love films/movies/cinema. And goes to show a different face of Iraq that isn't an international story, but could quite easily be universal story. My rating might be slightly biased because I the subject matter is close to me but anyone who has connected to films/movies/cinema can see the beauty of this documentary.
User Review - 6/10 by liz bBeautiful scenes that show insight into children's lives, even in another, very different culture. The originality of the idea and mission merit credit, but the slow pace of the events unfolding may not appeal to some viewers.
