The Time That Remains
Directed by Elia Suleiman
Produced by The Film, Nazira Films
A meditative, multi-generational family portrait that traces the lived experience of Palestinians who remained in Israel, balancing intimate memory with historical weight.
An examination of the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 through to the present day. A semi-biographic film, in four chapters, about a family spanning from 1948 until recent times. Combined with intimate memories of each member, the film attempts to portray the daily life of those Palestinians who remained in their land and were labelled "Israeli-Arabs," living as a minority in their own homeland.
