Abstract [en]

On Hospitality is a necromantic documentary where the Iraqi artist Layla Al-Attar returns from the dead to tell the story of how a Swedish company built a luxurious hotel in Baghdad, ordered by Saddam Hussein for the 1983 summit of the Non-Aligned Movement. War changed all the plans. Layla made a mosaic at the entrance of the hotel, depicting George Bush’s face, and her house was hit by an American missile.

Abstract [de]

On Hospitality ist ein nekromantischer Dokumentarfilm, in dem die irakische Künstlerin Layla Al-Attar von den Toten zurückkehrt, um die Geschichte zu erzählen, wie ein schwedisches Unternehmen in Bagdad ein luxuriöses Hotel baute, das von Saddam Hussein für das Gipfeltreffen der Bewegung der Blockfreien Staaten 1983 in Auftrag gegeben wurde. Der Krieg änderte alle Pläne. Layla Al-Attar schuf ein Mosaik mit dem Konterfei von George Bush für den Eingang des Hotels, und ihr Haus wurde von einer amerikanischen Rakete getroffen.
