Sunday, November 6 - 1:30 pm
The films of the Palestine Liberation Organization Media Unit, which were supposed to represent a self-determined image of Palestinian reality, "disappeared" during the Israeli invasion of Beirut in 1982. In this "road movie" from Palestine to Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, director Azza El-Hassan follows contradictory and confusing clues as to the whereabouts of the lost archive. Though Azza's search for the lost films leads her down various dead ends, she is confronted with new clues and starts to construct her own story.
