“Sharp as a knife … as close to flawless as a film can be” – Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada
Join us for a special screening of The Time That Remains, directed by Palestinian filmmaker Elia Suleiman. The film is a semi-biographical film that follows Palestinian life from 1948 to the present day through the story of director Elia Suleiman’s family. The plot is divided into four episodes that depict the filmmaker’s father, Fouad Suleiman, as a resistance fighter in 1948, the struggles of his family under Israeli military rule in the 1960s, and finally, Elia’s own experiences as an adolescent and adult. The film uses a comedic and surreal style to portray the daily life, absurdities, and humiliations of Palestinians living as a minority in their own homeland.
All proceeds from this screening will benefit the AlHaddad family in Gaza. Sameh, Amani, and Elien live in the north of Gaza and are struggling to survive. They have lost two infant sons (Mohammed and Wissam) and Sameh’s brother Mahmood was killed in a bombing last October. They are surviving a genocide. Between the constant presence of drones, bombs, shells, gunfire, and destruction, there are also rats, lack of clean water, limited food, disease, extreme heat, mosquitoes, and near total destruction of the infrastructure and buildings.
Expenses are extremely high, since borders are closed and Gaza is under a brutal siege. The AlHaddad family needs us to step up and help them. Wear your Pali colors and come to honor the people of Palestine and our beloved AlHaddads.
This screening is not available to book with the Club Arkadin pass.
