At the Movies: ‘Omar’ Vs
At the Movies: ‘Omar’ vs. ‘Bethlehem’ This year’s Israeli nominee for the Academy Award, “Bethlehem,” was remarkably similar thematically to the Palestinian entry, “Omar.” Both depict the relationship of an Israeli security handler with a young Palestinian informant in the West Bank. The plot lines diverge significantly, but then converge in a similarly brutal climax. The Israeli film focuses almost equally on the Israeli and Palestinian characters, and depicts the Israeli Shin Bet officer as developing a fatherly affection for his Palestinian source, despite the fundamentally exploitative nature of their interactions. Sanfur, the Palestinian teen, is also emotionally affected by this relationship, but forced into a shattering atonement for being a traitor. Similarly, Omar, the Palestinian young man in the eponymous film, is left feeling bereft, in a dead-end situation. It’s not entirely clear if Omar is playing a double game, and who else may be betraying whom; this poisons his courtship with his love Nadia, who may not be entirely innocent herself. The director of “Omar,” Hany Abu-Assad, is very talented. I remember being impressed by “Paradise Now,” his earlier film on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, also shortlisted for an Oscar. Neither film wound up winning the prize, but “Omar” represents the political progress gained by the Palestinians in the intervening years, by being nominated in the Best Foreign Language category as the entry of “Palestine,” rather than “the Palestinian territories.” It turns out, however, that Abu-Assad was born in Israel. The film’s publicity erroneously refers to his birthplace and hometown, Nazareth, as being in Palestine and not in Israel; and he is said to refuse to speak Hebrew in public.

Mongrel Media Presents Omar A film by Hany Abu-Assad Winner Jury Prize Un Certain Regard Cannes Film Festival Official Selection Toronto International Film Festival Official Selection New York Film Festival Running Time: 98 minutes Color Language: Arabic/Hebrew w/ English subtitles Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1028 Queen Street West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com SYNOPSIS Omar is accustomed to dodging surveillance bullets to cross the separation wall to visit his secret love Nadia. But occupied Palestine knows neither simple love nor clear-cut war. On the other side of the wall, the sensitive young baker Omar becomes a freedom fighter who must face painful choices about life and manhood. When Omar is captured after a deadly act of resistance, he falls into a cat-and-mouse game with the military police. Suspicion and betrayal jeopardize his longtime trust with accomplices and childhood friends Amjad and Tarek, Nadia’s militant brother. Omar’s feelings quickly become as torn apart as the Palestinian landscape. But it’s soon evident that everything he does is for his love of Nadia. CAST Adam Bakri Omar Leem Lubany Nadia Waleed F.

Tatsächlich sind diese Filme auch Instrumente im kultu- rellen Kampf um die Behauptung der eigenen Identität: Indem sie paläs- tinensisches Leben reflektieren, machen oder halten sie sichtbar, was zu verschwinden droht. Doch sie erschöpfen sich nicht darin, sondern gewin- nen künstlerisch Freiheit gerade dadurch, dass sie auch Konflikte und Wider- sprüche innerhalb der palästinensischen Gesellschaft aufgreifen. Das zeigt sich bereits in Michel KhleifisHochzeit in Galiläa aus dem Jahr 1987, mit FLUCHT dem wir die Reihe eröffnen, und wird noch deutlicher in Annemarie Jacirs neuem Film Wajib, mit dem wir – in Anwesenheit der Regisseurin – den 25.01. – 16.09.2018 Zyklus beschliessen.

THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE: EVERLASTING ROOTS, INFINITE HORIZONS 100 Names from Palestine to the World
THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE: EVERLASTING ROOTS, INFINITE HORIZONS 100 names from Palestine to the World Division for Palestinian Rights Department of Political and Peace- building Affairs (DPPA) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Financial Contribution Financial support from the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to produce this booklet is gratefully acknowledged Photo Credits Permanent Observer Mission of the State of Palestine, New York UN Photos Introduction “It was in Palestine, cradle of humanity’s three monotheistic faiths, that the Palestinian Arab people was born, and it was there that they grew and developed their indissoluble and uninterrupted organic relationship with their land and their history molding their human and national being.” The Declaration of Independence of the State of Palestine, 1988 The history of Palestine has been marked by invasions, wars, forced displacement and dispossession of its population. Palestine stands victim of the most protracted refugee crisis in the world and Palestinians comprise the largest global long-term refugee population. Palestine also continues to endure the longest military occupation in contemporary history. While this tragic history has shaped the Palestinian reality in all aspects and has deeply affected Palestinian identity and national aspirations, it must not over- shadow the personal stories of courage and determination in confronting this injustice and the ability of this nation to display and embody resilience, creativity, and humanity in the face of immense adversity. The Commemoration of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People in 2017 coincided with the 70th anniversary of the General Assembly’s adoption of resolution 181 (II) and the UN partition plan of Palestine and the eve of the 70th anniversary of Al-Nakba.

Sydney Film Festival Announce Full Program for the 4-15 June Festival
MEDIA RELEASE EMBARGOED UNTIL 10:00 WEDNESDAY 7 MAY SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL ANNOUNCE FULL PROGRAM FOR THE 4-15 JUNE FESTIVAL The 61st Sydney Film Festival program was officially launched today by the NSW Minister for the Arts, Troy Grant. “The New South Wales Government, through Screen NSW and Destination NSW, is very pleased to be again supporting Sydney Film Festival which is also part of Vivid Ideas 2014. Sydney Film Festival is a highlight of the city’s rich arts calendar and an important part of our cultural fabric. The Festival underpins Sydney’s recognition as a UNESCO City of Film, and I look forward to experiencing the Festival this June,” Mr Grant said. “Sydney Film Festival has gone from strength to strength over recent years, with attendances increasing over 23% since 2011 to 143,000,” said SFF Festival Director Nashen Moodley. “SFF not only presents the best films from across the country and around the world, but we also open up dialogue between the creators and audiences and curators and critics alike, in every direction and combination. Together in a crowded theatre, comedies are funnier, horror films are scarier and tender moments bring tears more readily; everything we feel is amplified by the power of the shared experience.” Direct from its world premiere screening at the Cannes Film Festival, SFF and Vivid Ideas are proud to present the Australian Premiere of the highly anticipated futuristic thriller The Rover and host the director David Michôd and key talent Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson at the State Theatre on Saturday 7 June.

Nashef College of Arts and Sciences, American University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates ABSTRACT KEYWORDS In the past, Palestinian cinema was dominated by a nationalist Palestinian cinema; Israeli discourse revolving around refugee ideology, resulting from the occupation; Myth; Paradise trauma of the lost homeland. As the past is generally static, revisiting Now; Omar; Hany Abu-Assad; it became an exercise in nostalgia. The last decade, however, has betrayal; treason seen the emergence of a number of transnational Palestinian films telling stories of those who remained in historical Palestine post- 1948. This late depiction is no longer one of reductionism but a visual narrative that exposes the daily challenges individuals face under occupation, as they fluctuate between a diminishing homeland and a lost one.
