It's a testament to our age of user-generated media that the war in Iraq has spawned its own documentary sub-genre. Alongside Gunner Palace (2004) and Voices of Iraq (2004), you can now add Iraqi Short Films, Argentine director Mauro Andrizzi's compilation of video snippets shot by a cross section of amateur documentarians — including US and British occupation soldiers, Iraqi militia members, and corporate-contract employees. And while Andrizzi's on-the-ground portrait of the enduring chaos doesn't shelter us from cruelty (some of the clips are quite brutal), his selected images disturb precisely because they test the limits of our empathy.
