Movie: The Time that Remains

September 29th, Tuesday, 6pm. “The Time That Remains” directed by Elia Suleiman is a semi-biographical film that follows Palestinian life from 1948 to the present day through the story of Suleiman’s family. It depicts 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.
