Falasteen Film Society Ōtautahi is delighted to invite you to the New Year's first fundraising screening.
Elia Suleiman's award-winning 2002 film
"Divine Intervention - Yadon ilaheyya"
Separated by a checkpoint, Palestinian lovers from Jerusalem and Ramallah arrange clandestine meetings.
Suleiman explained this in a 2002 interview with The Guardian: “I think that [viewers] learn about Palestine when they laugh. They become a little bit Palestinian, just by that."
"Divine Intervention" is not an essay – it’s a diary. It’s a window into one man’s soul, at times sharply focused and other times disassociated. There’s love and pain, often simultaneously. There’s trivial anger and righteous fury – fleeting fantasies and stark realities. (William Mullally - The National)
A $20 entry fee also includes free popcorn, tea or coffee. Free for kids 12 and under.
