- **Event Description**: Falasteen Film Society Ōtautahi (re)presents our June fundraising screening:
Annemarie Jacir’s award-winning debut film
 
? Milh Hadha Al-Bahr – Salt of This Sea (2008)
 
In Jacir’s own words, the film is "a story of young people trying to shake off the restraints that control them — of military occupation, borders, a corrupt government, and a rejecting social system. It is the story of a new generation wanting to live, and knowing sometimes, in order to do this, [they have] to take things in their own hands."
 
‘Salt of This Sea sensitively captures the confusion, difficulties, and frustration of a young Palestinian American, Soraya (Suheir Hammad), who tries to reconcile nostalgic and hopeful dreams with the complex reality for young Palestinians today. […] Writer/director Annemarie Jacir, in her first feature film, avoids stiff political didacticism by convincingly creating characters whose youthful naiveté is worth rooting for, even as their brief escape into optimism is sadly defeated.’ Nora Lee Mandel, Film Forward
