- The Van Velzen Sisters Karen Bouwer
Fighting the Silence is the first of three IFproductions documentaries based in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was released the same year as Lisa Jackson's The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo, also distributed by Women Make Movies. Whereas Jackson, herself a victim of rape, shares her experiences with the women she interviews and therefore includes herself prominently in her film, the van Velzen sisters' presence is effaced: there is no introductory segment to situate the action or provide context, no voice-over narrative, no interviewer in sight. Furthermore, none of the interviewees is named (except for a list of [End Page 221] first names in the credits at the end of the film), nor is the organization for which the female activist works identified.
The film opens with a sequence establishing the context. A woman is speaking about the problem of rape on a radio show; the sign outside the door situates us in Baraka, a town in South Kivu. We then see a man who has been listening to the broadcast on his small portable radio quickly changing stations to listen to music. It is clear that activists trying to tackle sexual violence against women have a difficult task ahead of them.
Three victims/survivors then tell their stories facing a camera: two married women who had been gang-raped by soldiers were rejected by their husbands; a teenage girl, raped by a civilian, was emotionally abandoned by her father. The interviews capture a sense of intimacy between the women and those behind the camera. Other interviewees include a community educator (Chantal), the two husbands, soldiers, and policemen.
The film does leave us with some hope, at least for two of the three victims. Thanks presumably to the intervention of the group that Chantal works for, both husbands take their wives back after having shunned them initially. One of the husbands has begun sharing his story, explaining the pressures he felt after...

September 12 Before Midnight (USA 2013) 109 min. [IMAGE]Even if you haven't seen the two films preceding this one (Before Sunriseand Before Sunset) you will appreciate the amazing grace of Linklater's latest exploration of the course of true love. This might be the film of the decade, an unflinching look at what has happened to Jesse and Celine, the two gorgeous creatures who met on a train some nine years ago in the happy kingdom of film. What really appealed to us about the two earlier films is that they brought together characters whose humanity and longing were instantly recognizable.We totally got what they were about, and hoped their special kind of romance would last to the end of celluloid. BEFORE MIDNIGHT satisfies our need to know what happened to them, but it does so in powerfully realistic ways. As it does for any couple who know each other almost too well, time simply changes the nature of that earlier romance. Love is a temporary insanity curable by marriage, said Ambrose Bierce, and so it is that Jesse and Celine are even more recognizable now, still utterly human, and, thank goodness, lovable, after all these years.
September 19 The Reluctant Fundamentalist (USA/UK/Qatar 2012) 130 min. [IMAGE]This is the kind of film that has mainstream appeal but not mainstream distribution. The story centres on a man caught on the horns of a dilemma. Changez settles back in his Pakistan homeland after a successful career in New York. America gave him an Ivy League degree and a job on Wall Street but after September 11 everything changes. His privileged life is radically altered by the turn of events, and in America he becomes an easy object of profiling. In Lahore where his father lives and where he returns, Changez is also mocked for having bought into Western values. Where, after all, is home in light of such conflict? The film is a fascinating treatment of the East/West divide following 9/11, as seen through the eyes of one stuck in the middle. There's nothing reluctant about filmmaker Nair, who deftly handles the journey back and forth, past and present, here and there, with skill and insight.
