The documentary examines representations of both cultures in Israeli and Iraqi society via their depiction in popular culture and the experiences of Arabic Jews and Jewish Arabs. "Baghdad" will be shown at the Doris Duke Theatre at 1 and 7:30 p.m. today and tomorrow. Showing Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 4 p.m. is "Turtles Can Fly," Iran's 2005 Academy Awards entry. Tickets are $5 general, $3 academy members.
