  • Poster for Divine Intervention

    Divine Intervention 2002

    Santa Claus tries to outrun a gang of knife-wielding youth. It's one of several vignettes of Palestinian life in Israel - in a neighborhood in Nazareth and at Al-Ram checkpoint in East Jerusalem. Most of the stories are droll, some absurd, one is mythic and fanciful; few words are spoken. A man who goes through his mail methodically each morning has a heart attack. His son visits him in the hospital. The son regularly meets a woman at Al-Ram; they sit in a car, hands caressing. Once, she defies Israeli guards at the checkpoint; later, ninja-like, she takes on soldiers at a target range. A red balloon floats free overhead. Neighbors toss garbage over walls. Life goes on until it doesn't.

  • Poster for Amours voilées

    Amours voilées 2008

    Batoul, a 28-year-old doctor, discovers love. Raised in a conservative environment where there was no question of dating a man before marriage, she met Hamza, and let herself go and transgressed all the principles she had always claimed. This whole story would end well if the wearing of the headscarf did not oppose them.
