DESCRIPTION:The Film Society will present a special screening of the fascinating 
 documentary Full Battle Rattle at 7:30 pm on October 17 at the Premiere 
 Theatre Letterman Digital Arts Center. Co-directors Tony Gerber and Jesse 
 Moss will be in attendance and participate in a Q+A after the screening. 
 Full Battle Rattle unfolds deep in the Mojave Desert at the Fort Irwin 
 National Training Center, where soldiers about to go to the Middle East 
 receive a unique type of preparation. In the space of 1,000 square miles 
 are 13 simulated Iraqi villages and about 1,600 "role players," soldiers 
 and civilians acting out a variety of real-world situations in loosely 
 scripted yet malleable scenarios. Full Battle Rattle focuses on one of 
 these villages called Medina Wasl and the group of paid actors and soldiers 
 who bring it to life.\n\nPreceding the screening will be Adam Keker's 
 Golden Gate Award winning short film On the Assassination of the President. 
 Keker, who will also be in attendance, worked as a 2nd unit cameraman on 
 Full Battle Rattle. \n\nIn addition to his documentaries, Tony Gerber has 
 also worked on Matthew Barney's films Cremaster IV and Drawing Restraint 9 
 as associate director. He is currently preparing a series of documentaries 
 on the Congo for National Geographic. Jesse Moss, a San Francisco native, 
 has worked as a producer for Barbara Kopple and a speech writer in 
 Washington. He founded Mile End Films and has made several documentaries 
 including one about demolition derby driver "Speedo" Jager, who will also 
 be the subject of his first feature film.\n\nTickets are $10 for SFFS 
 year-round members. General public tickets are $12.50 ($11 seniors, 
 students and persons with disabilities).\n\n
