Tel Aviv on Fire - Cinéma Arabe

Salam’s (Kais Nashif) uncle got him a job at the espionage-themed soap opera Tel Aviv on Fire. The show is about a Palestinian female spy who starts an affair with a Jewish general, while also in a relationship with a resistance fighter. The Palestinian series is also popular among Jewish viewers, including the wife of the soldier who mans the checkpoint that Salam passes each day on his way to the studio in Ramallah. In exchange for free passage, the man starts to make extreme demands about the plot.

With his well-aimed humor Sameh Zoabi paints a hilarious portrait of mutual relations in a strongly politicized society in which creative freedom is unattainable.

Thu 9 May and Sun 12 May with short-film:

In the rare moments that they are not playing soccer, brothers Abdallah and Mohammed race their moped over the hills surrounding Nefta. One day they come across a wandering donkey, strangely wearing headphones on his ears. What’s even more remarkable is the load he carries on his back.
