- W343722237 abstract "Annemarie Jacir discusses her background and artistic vision as it has culminated, most recently, in her award-winning 2008 feature film Salt of this Sea. Jacir explains how her film, which traces the experiences of Soraya--a Palestinian-American woman (portrayed by poet Suheir Hammad)--as she attempts to reclaim her family home, was made and how it has been received internationally. Furthermore, Jacir details her struggles as a Palestinian filmmaker to film inside of Israel, and the ways that her work explores the Nakba and its trauma for Palestinians in the United States and throughout the world. ********** Introduction Annemarie Jacir--poet, director, and activist--was interviewed in summer 2010 for this issue of Alif. The interviewers put questions in writing, and she answered in writing. Jacir is an emerging Palestinian figure in cinema. Her films include shorts, documentaries, and feature films. Her most recent film Salt of this Sea (2008) won several awards including the FIPRESCI Film Critics Prize and was covered extensively in the media. Jacir lived in Saudi Arabia until the age of sixteen, and then received her higher education in the United States. From 1974 to 1987, she split her time between Saudi Arabia and Palestine. She returned to Palestine in 1992, and taught at Bethlehem University. In the US, she began her work in theater, writing and directing plays. Her career in cinema began as an editor and camerawoman. She worked in the film industry in Los Angeles before attending Columbia University in New York to obtain an MFA degree in Film Studies. She has been living in Amman, Jordan since she was denied entry to Palestine in November 2007. Along with Hamid Dabashi, she co-founded the groundbreaking Dreams of a Nation project dedicated to the promotion of Palestinian cinema, of which she acted as chief curator. In 2003, she organized and curated the largest traveling film festival in Palestine, which included the screening of archival Palestinian films. Among her films are: Salt of this Sea, Sound of the Street, An Explanation: (and then burn the ashes), A Few Crumbs for the Birds, Until When, Like Twenty Impossibles, Palestine is Waiting, The Satellite Shooters, Two Hundred Years of American Ideology , A Revolutionary Tale, and A Post-Oslo History.
