$25,000 grant to Israeli filmmaker
Israel’s Suha Arraf is one of four filmmakers who received a $25,000 grant for a new project at the recent Asia Pacific Screen Awards held at the Gold Coast.
Arraf’s project in work is called “The Poster”
She sent J-Wire a synopsis of the work…
At the microphone is President and Managing Director Asia Pacific, Motion Picture Association, Mike Ellis
and next to him is Ronin Films Managing Director and former APSA International Jury member Andrew Pike who headed the distinguished industry panel who assessed the submissions.
A poster mysteriously appears overnight, plastered all over an Arab village in Israel.
The poster violates the peace of the village by denouncing five women, both Muslim and Christian Arabs, who all suffer from social and political oppression.
Through the stories of the women we become aware of the delicate fabric of Arab villages in Israel and the relationship between Arabs and Jews who live side by side in Israel.
