Our sincere apologies once again for the unforeseen break in FFSŌ screenings over the last couple of months. We're back on our feet again and ready to screen the double feature we promised in August showcasing our favourite documentaries: 2 stories about Palestine that transcend the usual narratives.Introduction to the end of an argument (1990)
Directed by Jayce Salloum and Elia Suleiman
Running Time: 45 mins
[Salloum and Suleiman] have taken on our accumulated (mis)impressions of the Palestinian Intifada by tracing their genesis in film and television. … an audacious venture into what one may call post-modern cinema during its nascent stages, mainly immersed in intertextuality, parody, pastiche, fragmentation, and subversive representation of representation.

Nazareth 2000 (2001)
Directed by Hany Abu Assad
Running time: 55 mins
Returning to his native city just months before the new millennium, filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad captures the daily, idiosyncratic beats of Nazareth - a city both Christians and Muslims consider one of the most sacred in the world. Set against the background of the riots surrounding a square that both the municipality and the Muslim community lay claim to, Abu-Assad allows his story to unfold through the eyes of two cynical, funny and wise gas station attendants who have been working at the service station for decades.
