Falasteen Film Society Otautahi presents our February fundraising screening: Annemarie Jacir’s award-winning 2012 film 🎬 Lamma Shoftak – When I Saw You 🎬
‘Her warm, supple and heartfelt movie about a child among the refugees displaced into Jordan after the 1967 war suggests a poignant connection between statelessness and the experience of losing a father.’ (Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian)
‘[Jacir’s] trump card is newcomer Mahmoud Asfa, 13 at the time of filming, whose performance as a maths-prodigy refugee in 1967 Jordan nimbly avoids the pitfalls of mawkishness or excessive precocity. [11 year old] Tarek’s dissatisfactions with his new surroundings lead him to wander off in search of new adventures, which he finds with trainee guerillas at their nearby encampment. … a steady-paced, wryly humorous affair’ (Neil Young, The Hollywood Reporter)
