Rashid Masharawi's new film "Laila's Birthday" is playing in New York. The setting is Ramallah under occupation. No wonder "absurd" is the key word in the NYT's review.
Here's a trailer: (thanks Sondra)
About Me
- Amal A
- These are improvisations: neither a manifesto nor a treatise because life is too complicated for either. Yet, I'm improvising as an Arab--Palestinian-- woman with a progressive point of view always under construction. I use these improvisations to think out loud, so never take any post as my last word on a subject but think of it as the beginning of a conversation.

There's a trailer on Youtube, too.
loved this film, highly recomend it
Playing at MoMA until June 1st.
Maybe if enough people see it, U.S. exhibitors will grow enough balls to make Palestinian film accessible beyond the NYC art world!
I hope enough people see it. I wish I could.
