Under the Bombs (Sous les bombes, France/Lebanon/England/Belgium 2007), the moving story of a taxi driver’s journey through a war-torn Middle Eastern landscape in search of his passenger’s missing family, directed by Philippe Aractingi, will open at SFFS Screen at the Sundance Kabuki Cinemas on Friday, October 17.In July 2006, Southern Lebanon was caught up in a war between Hezbollah paramilitary forces and the Israeli military. Lebanese director Aractingi took his camera outside and started shooting ten days into the 34-day war, capturing the devastation wreaked on the civilian population. As the fighting continued, Aractingi developed a fictional story about a beautiful and wealthy mother named Zeina and a hapless cab driver named Tony on a road trip to find Zeina’s missing son and sister.
