Inside Hana's Suitcase (2009) Directed by Larry Weinstein. Toronto: Rhombus Media Inc.
My first take at the 2010 Cleveland international Film Festival this year, I was first drawn to the movie by the idea of watching the enfoldment of one culture's interpreting another's by the means of artifacts only, having taught Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles recently and frequently enjoying the depiction of the character who becomes engrossed with the remains of the Martian civilization. Also reminiscent of the way a physicist once described greeting cards sent to outer space by NASA scientists filling time capsules with messages packed in the interior of a space rocket floating around out there, in case the earth blew up and anyone became curious with whomever used to live on our planet.
