Film: Chronicle of a Disappearance (Emergence: A Brief Introduction to Palestinian Cinema)

CHRONICLE OF A DISAPPEARANCE
Series: Emergence: A Brief Introduction to Palestinian Cinema
Director: Elia Suleiman, Country: Palestine, Release: 1996, Runtime: 88

Unique and formally exquisite, Elia Suleiman's first feature combines meditative diary and playful political allegory in a two-part portrait of day-to-day life among the Palestinian middle classes in Israel. In the first, "Nazareth Personal Diary," Suleiman presents a series of impressionistic, lyrical vignettes of his family and community. Mesmerizing, often very funny, in these ineffable privileged moments the people onscreen seem to be waiting for something that never comes. Suleiman appears as a version of himself in the second part, "Jerusalem Political Diary," a mischievously experimental narrative depicting the often-surreal cultural and political disembodiment and powerlessness of a younger, more politically aware generation of Palestinians.
