DRAMA SERIES<br />
“The best drama on screen right now”<br />
— NRG<br />
Writer Kateb draws on his own experiences<br />
for his depiction of the turbulent daily life<br />
of a young Israeli-Arab and his family.<br />
But the more successful his satirical TV<br />
series becomes, the more Kateb feels<br />
alienated from his alter ego.<br />
Skilfully written by Israeli-Palestianian<br />
author, Sayed Kashua (Arab Labor), this<br />
series offers an autobiographical account<br />
of Kashua’s own experiences living and<br />
working in Israel, and adeptly observes the<br />
reality, and personal toll, of a hybrid<br />
Israeli-Palestinian existence. Screened<br />
in the Special Series Selection at Berlin<br />
International Film Festival.<br />

A bold satirical comedy, 90 Minute War<br />
explores the contemporary Middle East<br />
peace process in an entirely new light.<br />
After a hundred-year-old conflict, the UN,<br />
together with two opposing leaders—the<br />
Israeli Prime Minister and the head of the<br />
Palestinian Authority—decide that there<br />
is only one logical solution to the age-old<br />
conflict: a soccer match. The winners get to<br />
stay. The losers leave, forever, renouncing<br />
any claims over the land. Finally, a solution<br />
that will bring an end to all of the dispute and<br />
bloodshed. Tackling a serious subject matter<br />
with an engagingly entertaining touch,<br />
this film was nominated for Best Actor,<br />
Best Supporting Actor and Best Editing at<br />
the 2015 Ophir Awards (Israeli Oscars).<br />
