ALTERITY

What is the place of ‘the other’ in mainstream cinema? Alterity – or the state of being other – has relevance for this film from Palestinian filmmaker, Elia Suleiman. Set in the occupied territories, it’s a love story with comic shades of Keaton and Tati, in which the protagonists meet secretly by an Israeli checkpoint.

Stephen Boyd will discuss this film in the context of world cinema and ‘otherness’ and how it contrasts with more mainstream representations.
