Description
The San Diego Arab Film Festival presents a special screening of Annmarie Jacir's award-winning film Wajib. The official entry from Palestine for the 2017 Oscars. Filmed in Nazareth, Wajib tells the story of Abu
Shadi, a divorced father and a school teacher in his mid-sixties. After his daughter’s wedding in one month he will be
living alone. Shadi, his architect son, arrives from Rome after years
abroad to help his father in hand delivering the wedding invitations to
each guest as per local Palestinian custom. As the estranged pair spend
the day together, the tense details of their relationship come to a head
challenging their fragile and very different lives. The program will begin at 7:00 PM. A full Arabic dinner will be available beginning at 6:00 PM. When on-line ticket sales close, tickets may still be available at the door depending on cancellations. Email lchristian@sandiegoaff.org for up-to-date information. |
