A moving and beautiful new film from Kurdish director Ghobadi (A Time for Drunken Horses, Turtles Can Fly). Despite his poor health, the elderly musician Mamo plans to lead a dozen of his sons to Iraq for a concert—"a cry of freedom"—to celebrate the fall of Saddam Hussein and the end of his repression of Kurdish music. His son, Kako, manages to borrow a school bus and along with his other brothers, their precious musical instruments and of course Mamo, drives across the border between Iranian and Iraqi Kurdistan for the big concert. Presented in conjunction with YBCA’s Music without Borders weekend, featuring Kronos Quartet and special guest Homayoun Sakhi. (2007, 107 min, 35mm)
