'Salt of the Sea' Opening!
Dear NAAP-NY,
NAAP-NY is proud to announce the release of the critically acclaimed film, "Salt of This Sea", starring Suheir Hammad!
Annemarie Jacir's politically charged feature debut is the story of Soraya (Suheir Hammad), a Brooklyn-born woman who travels to Palestine to retrieve her grandfather's savings, frozen in a Jaffa bank account after his 1948 exile. Struggling to feel at home in the land of her ancestors - and rebuffed by the country's financial institutions - she meets Emad, a young Palestinian whose ambition, contrary to hers, is to leave forever. Tired of the constraints that dictate their lives, they devise a plan to reclaim what is theirs - whatever the consequences may be.
Show your support and attend this film this Friday, August 13th!
Opens Friday, August 13 at the Quad Cinema (34 West 13th St)
Daily showtimes: 1:00, 3:10, 5:20, 7:30, 9:50
