On Hospitality – Layla al Attar and Hotel al Rasheed

On Hospitality is a necromantic documentary in which Iraqi artist Layla Al-Attar returns from the dead to tell the story of how a Swedish company built a luxurious hotel in Baghdad, commissioned by Saddam Hussein for the 1983 summit of the Non-Aligned Movement. The war changed all plans. Layla Al-Attar created a mosaic with the likeness of George Bush for the entrance to the hotel, and her house was hit by an American missile.
