Fiction
2001 - Palestine
A Palestinian filmmaker, anxious for work, is commissioned by American producers to direct a documentary film profiling Jerusalem as a city of peace and harmony between Jews, Arabs and Christians. While in production, the filmmaker (played by the director) repeatedly encounters situations that undermine his best intentions. The reality of things on the ground proves to be much stronger than its representation. (From Director’s note)
