Chronicle of a Disappearance (7pm-Free Screening)
Director: Elia Suleiman
88min.
Language: Arabic with English subtitles
This free Screening Event, part of our Palestinian Film Series, was made possible with sponsorship support from the Trinity Arts Initiative.
Cinestudio continues the series on Palestinian film that we began last spring. Last year, we screened four excellent documentaries, and so this year, we’ve decided to focus on feature films. Specifically, we’ll be hosting a retrospective, Exploring Elia Suleiman: A Retrospective, over three consecutive Fridays in November. Suleiman is a Palestinian artist of great significance, and we are pleased to offer some of his rarely screened films to a wider audience.
Suleiman’s first feature film, documents feeling of restlessness and uncertainty resulting from Palestinian statelessness. Winner of prize for Best First Film at Venice Film Festival 1996.
