"The Sheffield DocFest has put out a preview of their 2008 lineup. The festival launched a number of sidebars last year based on theme––Green, Sports, Music, etc––and this year, they’re adding two more: Kinky Docs, described as “a celebration of sex and its representation in documentary”; and “Regime Change,” timed to capitalize on the US presidential election, which will have just ended the day before Sheffield begins (assuming there’s no need for a recount). Familiar titles on the latter sidebar include Full Battle Battle, Bulletproof Salesman and the recently-acquired

"2008 SXSW Special Jury Prize winning documentary Full Battle Rattle manages to find a unique way to examine the War in Iraq. Rather than bring their cameras into an actual war zone, they decided to look at a simulated war zone, the U.S. Army’s training facility in the Mojave Desert. I talked to directors Tony Gerber and Jesse Moss about finding a way to elicit both outrage and admiration. See a full review of the film here.

"Sometime last year, the term “Iraq fatigue” was coined to describe the unwillingness of festival audiences and box office patrons to engage with the glut of Iraq documentaries being made. I would call Full Battle Rattle a post-fatigue film. Rather than focus on the battle field, the administration’s failed policies, or the diplomatic fallout of illegal rendition and torture, the film examines a model Iraqi town in the Mojave desert used to train troops before deployment. By looking at a simulation of the violence and political strife, directors Tony Gerber and Jesse Moss are able to engage subjects that would otherwise be too politically divisive to find an audience on both sides of the political divide. The film is a surprising mix of what could be read as surreal and biting commentary on the American war machine on the one hand, and a loving portrait of honorable soldiers on the other.
