Gelak tawa para penonton di sepanjang penayangan filem terakhir, berjudul I Dance With God <\/em>karya sutradara Iran, Hooshang Mirzaee, berhasil menghangatkan ruangan bioskop Institut Fran\u00e7ais d’Indon\u00e9sie (IFI) di Jalan MH Thamrin No. 20, Jakarta.

Filem kedua, A Barca<\/em>, bercerita tentang realita kehidupan sehari-hari di perkotaan yang sistematis, konstan secara terus-menerus dan berulang-ulang. Pablo Briones, sutradara asal Swiss ini berusaha menggambarkan wilayah kota yang sunyi senyap dan lesu dari aktivitas sambil menunggu penghuninya kembali.<\/p>\n Sementara itu, I Dance With God<\/em> milik Hooshang Mirzaee diambil dari kisah nyata seorang kakek tua bernama Ali Badri, berprofesi sebagai penjahit celana Kurdi tuna netra. Filem berdurasi 40 menit itu mampu memberi kejutan kepada penonton sekaligus menyajikan humor spontan dari dialog tokoh utama baik dengan istrinya ataupun lingkungan sekitarnya. Hooshang mampu menjahit cerita menjadi kesatuan utuh dengan memberikan sedikit demi sedikit informasi tentang siapa dan bagaimana tokoh utama menjalani hidup dengan optimis dan selalu riang gembira.<\/p>\n “Ini tentang humor satire, bagaimana seorang yang sudah tua masih punya mimpi untuk memenuhi kebutuhannya. Ada juga emosi yang ditampilkan saat ia dan istri mengunjungi anak satu-satunya, Yaser, yang meninggal dalam kecelakaan mobil,” papar Paul, menambahkan.<\/p>\n Salah seorang penonton yang juga merupakan undangan ARKIPEL, Koki Da Silva, yang menjabat sebagai Research and Development Project dari Filigree Films Sydney Australia, yang datang bersama sang Direktur, Iqbal Barkat, menyatakan bahwa ia sangat menikmati filem dokumenter milik Hooshang tersebut.<\/p>\n “Bagus, ya.
