Chronicle of a Disappearance

In this award-winning political satire, filmmaker Elia Suleiman plays himself, a young man returning to his Palestinian homeland after spending more than a decade studying film in New York. He documents his return to his roots by recording his wanderings through Nazareth and Jerusalem. The resulting work is a series of thought-provoking vignettes expressing Suleiman's view of contemporary Israeli-Arab life -- and it's not a pretty picture.
