Memories in a Frame | Upshot

Somewhere in the future, on a remote farm, Suleiman and Lubna live quietly, tending their chickens and looking after their olive trees. During dinner, they talk about their five children: Bassel, Oumaya, Hamza, Tarik, and Khaled. One day, a journalist arrives to interview them.

This short film is a textbook example of its genre and, in our eyes, an important exponent of Palestinian cinema. With a simple story and a sober yet powerful visual language, this film makes your world tremble for a moment. Every scene is intelligently choreographed and contributes to a rarely felt emotional impact. This film was a must to close the opening night of our festival.
