Closing Film – Eyes of a Thief
Najwa Najjar's second feature film will screen Saturday night, 28 Nov, as part of the final debate evening that focuses on Palestine – The Water Time Bomb.
With an intricate plot, Najwa has created a psychological thriller that is multilayered and at once a family story, a love story, a look at social conditions in a territory under occupation, all with the intent of confronting audiences with the fine line differentiating resistance from terrorism.
The film was Palestine's official submission for the Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards 2015.
