SUMMARY:Land of Mustaches
DESCRIPTION:For the children and women of all wars\, it never leaves. \nLand of the Mustaches is an autobiographical story of a young girl growing up in the Displaced Persons refugee camps with her mother and grandmother after World War Two left them starving and stateless\, and her father's disappearance into Stalin's notorious Gulag labor camps in Siberia with only what he was wearing the day he was abducted—two hard paths that parallel each other until they finally merge into one story: The ultimate celebration of resilience and the human spirit. \nNoted film critic Rex Reed said\, "I found your film to be so tender and truthful and honest ... It is constantly mesmerizing."\nOur film is a visual memoir told through rich and real vignettes\, heightened by archival footage and animation\, illuminating how inter-generational\, female family life persists and humans persevere even in the most extreme circumstances: In 1947\, there were still about a million refugees in the Displaced Persons camps of occupied Europe; there are over a hundred million globally today. The mind struggles to comprehend such numbers\, but the story of one family is recognizable. In our seemingly endless wars\, the plight of their voiceless victims--families stripped of everything\, women and children left on their own with no support\, left bereft--is just as true today as it was 80 years ago when I grew up in the rubble and converted concentration camps. \nIt was shot in two back-to-back 18-hour days. We chose to film minimalistically and theatrically\, using the early style and approach of Brian de Palma\, with whom Rutanya had worked in his films Greetings ('68) and Hi\, Mom! ('70). At the end of the second day of shooting my D.P. handed me the 3 1/2 hours of film. I held the film in my hands and thought: What now? May this film be an inspiration to all the first time filmmakers. \nSix Academy members came together to make this unique\, truly independent\, and micro-budget film: Actress Rutanya Alda (The Deer Hunter\, Mommie Dearest\, Amityville II\, among 110+ film and TV credits)\, writer\, producer\, and performer of Land of the Mustaches; acclaimed Emmy-nominated editor\, David Ray (Scarface\, Reds\, All That Jazz\, the Bronx Tale); brilliant Emmy-winning composer\, Charles Bernstein (ASCAP Deems Taylor award\, 140+ films); director and award-winning filmmaker\, Leon Joosen (Disney's The Little Mermaid\, Scooby-Doo\, Muppet Babies); Emmy-winning animator\, Candy Kugel (MTV\, Sesame Street\, Berenstain Bears\, A Warm Reception in L.A.)\, and producer Donna Dickman (who publicized Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind\, The Pianist\, and The Motorcycle Diaries.)

SUMMARY:Land of Mustaches
DESCRIPTION:For the children and women of all wars\, it never leaves. \nLand of the Mustaches is an autobiographical story of a young girl growing up in the Displaced Persons refugee camps with her mother and grandmother after World War Two left them starving and stateless\, and her father's disappearance into Stalin's notorious Gulag labor camps in Siberia with only what he was wearing the day he was abducted—two hard paths that parallel each other until they finally merge into one story: The ultimate celebration of resilience and the human spirit. \nNoted film critic Rex Reed said\, "I found your film to be so tender and truthful and honest ... It is constantly mesmerizing."\nOur film is a visual memoir told through rich and real vignettes\, heightened by archival footage and animation\, illuminating how inter-generational\, female family life persists and humans persevere even in the most extreme circumstances: In 1947\, there were still about a million refugees in the Displaced Persons camps of occupied Europe; there are over a hundred million globally today. The mind struggles to comprehend such numbers\, but the story of one family is recognizable. In our seemingly endless wars\, the plight of their voiceless victims--families stripped of everything\, women and children left on their own with no support\, left bereft--is just as true today as it was 80 years ago when I grew up in the rubble and converted concentration camps. \nIt was shot in two back-to-back 18-hour days. We chose to film minimalistically and theatrically\, using the early style and approach of Brian de Palma\, with whom Rutanya had worked in his films Greetings ('68) and Hi\, Mom! ('70). At the end of the second day of shooting my D.P. handed me the 3 1/2 hours of film. I held the film in my hands and thought: What now? May this film be an inspiration to all the first time filmmakers. \nSix Academy members came together to make this unique\, truly independent\, and micro-budget film: Actress Rutanya Alda (The Deer Hunter\, Mommie Dearest\, Amityville II\, among 110+ film and TV credits)\, writer\, producer\, and performer of Land of the Mustaches; acclaimed Emmy-nominated editor\, David Ray (Scarface\, Reds\, All That Jazz\, the Bronx Tale); brilliant Emmy-winning composer\, Charles Bernstein (ASCAP Deems Taylor award\, 140+ films); director and award-winning filmmaker\, Leon Joosen (Disney's The Little Mermaid\, Scooby-Doo\, Muppet Babies); Emmy-winning animator\, Candy Kugel (MTV\, Sesame Street\, Berenstain Bears\, A Warm Reception in L.A.)\, and producer Donna Dickman (who publicized Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind\, The Pianist\, and The Motorcycle Diaries.)
