- LOGLINE: A raucous documentary about the not so silent women of the silent film era. SYNOPSIS: A unique hybrid of documentary, silent film, drama and dance, 'Breaking Plates' puts revolutionary women of the past on the screen with present day filmmakers. Contemporary women talk to characters from 100 years ago, reanimate their antics and emulate their mayhem moves. As early 21st century performers step into the clothes of their early 20th century counterparts, battling their haywire machines, exploding gags, and eruptive bodies, they learn to wield humour as a weapon against the structures that contain them today. 'Breaking Plates' is a boundary-smashing brawl and a creative revolution for women onscreen, a riotously entertaining enactment of the principle that if we want to tell different stories, we have to tell stories differently.
- "We are the good ones. Why are you bombing us?" complains a chorus of women from the West. "We live in a good area. I always choose the good. I do good while you... We know your culture is very different. We welcome difference. That's why we're good people."We Are the Good Ones" is a cycle consisting of 17 mini-dramas that the British author Mark Ravenhill wrote in 2007 under the impression of Western military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Serbia: During the Edinburgh Theater Festival he wrote day after day on behalf of the daily newspaper The Guardian one scene each under the provisional title "Ravenhill for Breakfast". The result is an almost epic and powerful work that explores the themes of war and peace, civilization and barbarism, terror and freedom, dictatorship and democracy, good and evil.
