The Films of Annemarie Jacir
The films of trailblazing Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir are urgent looks at what it means to live on the margins of your own homeland. With a mix of humor, righteous anger, and stirring lyricism, she illuminates the plight and perseverance of the Palestinian people whose stories and perspectives have for too long been erased on screen.
An estranged father and son traverse the streets of Nazareth in Jacir’s latest, a wry, sharply-observed road movie and portrait of day-to-day Palestinian life in contemporary Israel.
The struggle and determination of Palestinian refugees is seen through a child’s eyes in this stirring ode to a people’s resilience set in the aftermath of 1967’s Six-Day War.
The first feature made by a Palestinian female director, Jacir’s film is an impassioned account of a Brooklyn-born Palestinian-American woman on a quest for liberation in a land of borders and checkpoints.
