Chronicle Of A Disappearance
|
What does is mean to be
Palestinian in the second half of the twentieth cent ury?
Filmmaker Elia Suleiman was born in Nazareth in 1960, well after the
establishment in 1948 of the state of Israel in historic Palestine.
After twelve years of self-imposed exile, living in New York,
Suleiman returns to the land of his birth in an attempt to find his
roots. Chronicle Of A Disappearance does not take a position on the
political impasse in the Middle East. Rather, the film is a personal
meditation upon the spiritual affect of political instability on the
Palestinian people, their psyche, and their identity. As such, it is
an invaluable contribution to the struggle.
