SUSPENDED TIME
Dir. 9 shorts by Palestinian filmmakers (collective/omnibus film) / 2014 / 59 min
Nine short films marking the 20th anniversary of the 1993 Oslo Accords, made by Palestinians living in Palestine and the refugee diaspora.
In 2013, Palestinian production house Idioms Film issued an open call inviting Palestinian filmmakers to propose films reflecting on the 20th anniversary of the 1993 Oslo Accords. Suspended Time compiles the nine short pieces commissioned for production. Collectively, these richly-varying works “stitch together a contemporary filmic commentary on the Oslo Accords as perceived, sensed and lived by nine filmmakers and artists.”
Individual titles in sequence: Long War by Asma Ghanem; Twenty Handshakes for Peace by Mahdi Fleifel; Oslo Syndrome by Ayman Azraq; Apartment 10/14 by Tarzan and Arab Nasser; Interference by Amin Nayef; Journey of a Sofa by Alaa Al Ali; Message to Obama by Muhannad Salahat; From Ramallah by Assem Nasser; and Leaving Oslo by Yazan Khalili.
Thanks to the Masrah Al Qasba Theatre, Al Qasba, Sharjah, for the screening.
