It’s summer 2014. Muna (Mouna Hawa, “In Between,” BJFF 2017), an Israeli-Arab photographer living in Tel Aviv, has just been chosen to represent Israel in a prestigious international photography exhibition in Paris. Her father and his neighbors in their Arab village are against Muna’s participation, as are the Jewish critics who don’t want an Arab-Israeli representing them, especially in wartime. Muna, caught between two worlds, is determined to forge her own path, even if it means upsetting the relationship with her Jewish boyfriend, Yaniv.
Produced by musician Mira Awad (“Arab Labor,” BJFF 2008) and inspired by her own story.
Followed by a conversation with producer Mira Awad.
