HAIFA, September 12, 2010 (WAFA)- Elika art bar cafe in Haifa is going to screen tomorrow the movie 'To My Father', Directed by Abed elsalam Shehade.
“Those were the days when girls were prettier, when eyes were in all colors, without any color. What's Different now - the camera, or the eyes?' asks Abdel Salam Shehadah's poetic and mesmerizing homage to the studio photographers of the 1950's - 70's.
Set partly in a refugee camp in Rafah, this is a remarkable look back at fifty years of Palestinian and Arab history, through photographs, reportage and the voices of these photographers today. To My Father is a deeply personal and moving film that confirms the talent of Gaza-born director Shahadah, who have worked all over the world as a director, cameraman and journalist, recently turned to filmmaking. A photo here is not just a photo: it brings history to life.
