Is it possible to find love at a checkpoint? Between Nazareth and Jerusalem is the Al-Ram checkpoint, where Divine Intervention follows a Palestinian couple separated by both imaginary and physical borders. Told through Elia Suleiman’s signature surreal, deadpan style, the film gives us a portrait of daily life in occupied Palestine and the challenges facing Palestinian lovers with different citizenship statuses. Join and for a screening of one of contemporary cinema’s most singular and subversive films.

🫒 Light bites and refreshments will be provided!

EVENT DETAILS:
📅 Date: Thursday, April 30 @ 7:00 PM
📍 Location: Innis Town Hall, 2 Suss*x Avenue

This screening is FREE of charge. Early arrival and RSVP through link in bio is recommended but not mandatory!
