Information from the Edinburgh International Film Festival 2007

EXTRAORDINARY RENDITION This striking debut unflinchingly addresses a great humanitarian scandal of our age, namely the titular practice whereby a state delivers criminal suspects to foreign soil to evade the processes and prohibitions of its own domestic judiciary. Omar Berdouni (United 93) plays Zaafir, a London-based academic who likes to push his students into edgy discussion. The nature of his research and personal contacts rings alarm bells somewhere - and Zaafir is plunged into a nightmare that will leave him permanently changed. Atmospheric, powerfully insightful about the lasting effects of torture on both victim and perpetrator, and boldly ambiguous about the political background to its key events, this film announces Jim Threapleton as a singularly important writer/director.
