My Love Awaits Me by the Sea [Official Trailer] from Mais Darwazah on Vimeo.

MY LOVE AWAITS ME BY THE SEA
Dir. Mais Darwazah / 2013 / 79 min

‘How do you return to a place that only exists in your mind?’ This poetic documentary chronicles the director’s first journey back to her homeland, Palestine. 

Award-winning director Mais Darwazah (Take Me Home, 2008; The Dinner, 2012) leaves a secluded life in Amman, journeying to Palestine to seek out a lover she’s never met – the late Palestinian artist Hasan Hourani. Darwazah’s travelogue mixes fairytale with reality and romance as she traces the fractured geographies and uncertain dreams of a Palestinian nation. The result is a highly original road-trip into an elusive homeland. 

Winner: Jury Prize, Best Feature Documentary, Ismailia Film Festival, 2014
