EII documentary to be shown at TIFF

[westmoon.livejournal.com]

A documentary based on Liev Schreiber's experiences with an Iraqi film student during the filming of Everything is Illuminated will be shown at this year's Toronto International Film Festival as part of their Real to Reel series. I'm not sure how much, if any, of the movie itself will feature in the documentary, but it sounds like something to keep an eye on, regardless of whether or not Elijah/Jonathan makes an appearance in the film.

When the dreams of a young Iraqi film student are crushed following the bombing of Baghdad's film school, actor Liev Schreiber invites him to intern on the production of EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED. But in a comedic turn of events, Schreiber's good intentions quickly backfire as the eager student proves to have intentions of his own.
