Leytonstone Pop-Up Cinema - Weds Sept 7th 2011‏

Leytonstone Pop-Up Cinema is showing 'The Time That Remains' by Palestinian film director Elia Suleiman this Wednesday, 7th Sept:
The Time That Remains is a semi-autobiographical film, in four episodes, about a family, my family, from 1948 until recent times. The film is inspired by my father’s private diaries, starting from when he was a resistance fighter in 1948, and by my mother’s letters to family members who were forced to leave the country. Combined with my intimate memories of them and with them, the film attempts to portray the daily life of those Palestinians who remained and were labelled “Israeli-Arabs”, living as a minority in their own homeland.” – Elia Suleiman.
Starting time 7.45pm at Leytonstone Library, E11
Entrance £5 (£4 concessions)
You can watch a clip of the film here.
