Why is there only one Elia Suleiman?
Before I move any further, I should note that the title of today's blog is taken from a converation I had with my friend and colleague Tal Assif. This was originally her question but now it's mine too. After watching more Palestinian films than I would wish upon most Jewish, Arab, or Arab Jewish leftists (I can provide my list upon request), I'm left wondering where the other Suleimans are? After watching Chronicle of a Disappearance for the first time about 5 years ago (and about a dozen times since then), I've been hooked on Suleiman. But where are the others? Palestinians definitely have a lot to say. Within the next few months Tal and I will find the others and you're all invited to idyllic Ann Arbor to check out them out. We're putting together a film series to premiere next fall. Any suggestions are welcome.
