7th Annual Hollywood Film Festival® 2003 Hollywood Awards® Finalists IRAN, VEILED APPEARANCES Belgium - L.A. Premiere  90 mins. Arclight Cinemas, 5:00 pm, Oct. 19, Sunday. After having asserted their desire for change during the presidential elections, the Iranians are now duped in their slight conquests by the power of the most conservative Islamists. This power has a firm grip on the army and the media and doesnąt think twice about resorting to political murder. Iran, Veiled Appearances is the portrait of this socially and culturally fractured society. The divided people give rise to a multifaceted and kaleidoscopic film, as diverse as a country in which the religious fervor of some contrasts with the desire for liberty of others. Director/Writer: Thierry Michel Writer: Franz Wagner Producer: Les Films de la Passerelle  KHACHATURIAN2003 WINNER - BEST DOCUMENTARY United States - World Premiere 83 mins. Arclight Cinemas, 9:00 pm, Oct. 17, Friday. Khachaturian is about the life of a composer working in the darkness of Stalin's USSR. Like many Soviet citizens, Khachaturian hid a complex private life behind a mask of Communist loyalty. Once respected and honored for his nationalistic compositions, Khachaturian's complex, modern 3rd Symphony brought derision and scorn from the Army Generals and Party Comrades, condemning the once luminous musician to live out his days in obscurity and censure. This is Khachaturian's intriguing story of fear, compounded by the stakes: he held the destiny of hundreds of composers and the future of Soviet music in his hands. Director/Producer: Peter Rosen Writer: Bill Van Horn LIFE GOES ON Germany - U.S. Premiere 
88 mins. Arclight Cinemas, 3:00 pm, Oct. 19, Sunday.
Autumn 1944. The Third Reich is near collapse and the first Allied soldiers are on German soil. Just outside Berlin, the cameras start rolling on one of the biggest propaganda films ever planned by the Nazis: Life Goes On. Intended to show how the German people cope and retain their spirit through the destruction and horror of their everyday life, struggling through to the promised victory, the film was set to premiere in June 1945 (two months after the war was lost). The documentary Life Goes On tells this extraordinary, tragic, yet often blackly comic story of a film that started out as the biggest propaganda epic of its time and ended up in flames.
