Houria
January. 01,2011
HOURIA weaves together the stories of Hattab and his grandmother Yousra to reflect on fluid modes of belonging. Yousra was expelled from her village Jamaseen Al-Garbi by Zionist paramilitary groups in 1948, and she remains witness to the decline of Jaffa’s glory where she resettled after the Nakba. On the other hand, Hattab, presented as a hybrid mermaid and a symbol of the shores of Manshiyyeh (North of Tel Aviv), embodies both the liminality of those who were driven out of Palestine and the longing desire to belong to the Palestinian nation.
Reviews
an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
