Last week The Mulberry House was screened as part of the Barbican’s I/Eye in Conflict series, which aims to bring “the insider’s perspective from recent wars, revolutions, uprisings, and occupations in the Middle East, giving access to these experiences as they unfold.”
The series was created due to the organisers’ belief that “First person accounts of momentous events of our time are precious”, a statement that rings especially true for The Mulberry House, which paints an intimate portrait of the filmmaker Sara Ishaq’s family as the events of 2011 explode around them.
The festival will take place from May 25th until May 31st. ‘The Mulberry House’ will be part of the offical section.
Director of The Mulberry House, Sara Ishaq is in Vienna for the film’s premiere on the 10th April. The film won the top Jury Prize at This Human World Festival in 2014, and returned to the city for its cinema release.
Proaction Film’s production of Sara Ishaq’s documentary ‘The Mulberry House’ won the Jury Award at ‘This Human World’ 2014 and will celebrate its Austrian theatrical release in April 2015!
‘The Mulberry House’ is part of the official selection of the 7th edition of This Human World in Vienna, December 2014.
