A Long Palestinian Film (Film Filastini Taweel) by Sobhi al-Zubeidi. Palestine, 2005, 60 min, Beta SP US première In 1945, according to the UN partition plan 181, Palestinians were given 45% of Palestine. In 1967, according to UN Resolution 242, 22% was pledged. In the Oslo agreements, this offer diminished to 90% of the 22% and according to Sharon’s plan and the Israeli wall it became 12% of the 90%. A Long Palestinian Film explores the complex way in which various Palestinians construct their identities in relation to this ever diminishing state that is Palestine. The walls close in and the sea recedes from view if not from memory as the filmmaker ponders the question of homeland from a variety of perspectives. In Arabic with English subtitles.
