Three MiniDV tapes of life in Gaza from 2001 were recently rediscovered. What started as a search for a former prison mate from 1989, led to an unexpected road trip from the north to the south of Gaza with Hasan, a local guide whose fate remains unknown.
A cinematic reflection on memory, loss and the passage of time, capturing a Gaza of the past and lives that may never be found again.

2025-11-01 13:00 - 16:30 | Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave, 2, Seattle, WA, 98122, United States
When his father dies, Dib, his younger brother and their mother move away from their hometown Quneitra to Damascus. The mother’s despotic father reluctantly takes them in and tries to force the mother to remarry. Overwhelmed by the magic of the city, Dib wants to discover everything and is full of dreams. His daily life is shaped by insults and punishments however. Dib grows up against a backdrop of the political upheavals of the 1950s (the end of the military dictatorship in Syria and the nationalization of the Suez Canal, Nasser’s taking of power in Cairo, Egyptian and Syrian unification in 1958) and loses his childish illusions in the face of such violence and brutality. The dreams of the city prove to be a nightmare. Mohammad Malas’ partly autobiographical debut film marked the transition to auteur cinema in Syria.

About
(Elia Suleiman, Palestine & France, 2002, 92min, in Arabic, English, and Arabic, Hebrew, and English with English subtitles)
In Nazareth, under a guise of banal normalcy, the town embraces folly.
Under pressure from his failing business, a man takes matters into his own hands and tries to break a chain reaction of petty feuds. He breaks down himself. The man is E.S. father.
A love story takes place between a Palestinian man living in Jerusalem and a Palestinian woman from Ramallah. The man E.S. shifts between his ailing father and his love life, trying to keep both alive.
Because of the political situation, the womans freedom of movement ends at the Israeli army checkpoint between the two cities. Barred from crossing, the lovers intimate encounters take place on a deserted lot right beside the checkpoint. The lovers are unable to exempt reality from occupation.
A complicity of solemn desire begins to generate violent repercussions and, against the odds, their angry hearts counter-attack with spasms of spectacular fantasy .
Presented as a part of Palestine Cinema Days 2025
On the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, observed on November 2nd, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices, we are screening Divine Intervention directed by Elia Suleiman at 7:00 p.m. at Northwest Film Forum. The screening is free of charge.
