New at the Browning
Directed by Rami Younis, Sarah Ema Friedland
Not Rated, 79 minutes, DCP
In Arabic and Hebrew with English subtitles
Directors Rami Younis and Sarah Ema Friedland scheduled to appear live!
Made by a Palestinian from Lyd and a Jewish American, this documentary provides much-needed context for this moment, as it goes deep into the history of the Nakba from the perspective of Palestinians who survived. As the film cuts between fantastical and documentary realities, it ultimately leaves the viewer questioning what future should prevail. The film imagines an alternate reality where Palestine was never occupied and Palestinians of all religions (Muslims, Christians, and Jews) live in a liberated Palestine. Narrated by Palestinian actress Maisa Abd Elhadi who personifies the city, the viewer is guided through the lifespan of a five-thousand-year-old city and its residents.
This is a free but ticketed event. Tickets will be available for pick-up at the Ticket Office one hour prior to the performance. To guarantee your seat, please pick up your tickets at least 15 minutes prior to the show. In the event of a sell-out, unclaimed tickets will be used to seat patrons waiting on standby.
