The Time That Remains, released in 2009 by acclaimed Palestinian director Elia Suleiman, is a poignant exploration of life in post-1948 Palestine. Known for his unique blend of dark humor and striking visual style, Suleiman's work often critiques societal norms and highlights the absurdities of life under occupation. This semi-autobiographical film channels his distinctive voice through a series of vignettes that capture the experiences of his family over decades, blending personal and political narratives in a way that is both intimate and reflective.

At its core, The Time That Remains delves into themes of displacement, identity, and resilience amidst the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The film poignantly illustrates the struggles and existential dilemmas faced by Palestinians, portraying everyday life with a nuanced lens. Suleiman's use of silence, irony, and visual metaphors serves to underscore the impact of the conflict on individual lives, creating an emotional resonance that invites the audience to engage deeply with the complexities of loss, memory, and hope. Through a mix of poignant moments and subtle humor, the film captures the interplay of personal and collective histories, making it a powerful statement on the endurance of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

The Sameer Project ( or ) is a vital initiative dedicated to providing support and resources to communities in Palestine facing hardship. Through the donations collected from ticket sales and contributions during our events, all funds will be directed to this project, ensuring that the financial support directly impacts those in need. The Sameer Project focuses on areas such as education, healthcare, and community development, aiming to empower individuals and strengthen resilience in the face of ongoing challenges.
By participating in our screenings and contributing to this cause, attendees play a crucial role in fostering positive change and solidarity with the Palestinian people.
