4. why? It won an Oscar last night as the "Best Live Action Short"

The trailer is hilarious!

http://westbankstory.com/

A musical comedy set in the fast-paced, fast-food world of competing falafel stands in the West Bank... David, an Israeli soldier, falls in love with the beautiful Palestinian cashier, Fatima, despite the animosity between their families' dueling restaurants. Can the couple's love withstand a 2000 year old conflict and their families' desire to control the future of the chic pea in the Middle East?

Directed by Ari Sandel, written by Kim Ray & Ari Sandel; an official selection of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival.

16. You may have hard time seeing it

It is a short movie and I don't know that they end up on cable or on DVDs.

We saw all of them last weekend at a special viewing in a local movie theatre.

14. Now that I've seen the trailer ...

... I MUST HAVE THIS MOVIE!

Sorry to see it's only twenty minutes long - this is a GREAT premise for a full-length feature.

(Thanks for the link!)

15. Yes, found it cute but predictable

I thought that the Spanish one: Eramos Pocos was the most interesting one.

The Australian and the Danish were good, too.
