The first feature film from Palestine by a female director, Salt of this Sea is the politically and emotionally explosive story of Soraya (Suheir Hammad), a Brooklyn-born woman of Palestinian lineage who comes to Israel to search for the land and ancestral home near Jaffa from where her grandparents were ejected 60 years ago. Once she arrives, reality strikes hard and her mission to claim what is hers and fulfill her lifelong dream to "return" to Palestine is obstructed at every turn. Having discovered that her grandfather's bank account was frozen and seized in 1948, she goes to the new Ramallah branch of the bank to claim the funds. Frustrated and deluded when her demands are rebuffed, she and her new Palestinian boyfriend Emad decide to take control of their own destinies by every means possible - even if it means breaking the law. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/le-sel-de-la-mer-salt-of-this-sea/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_of_this_Sea http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1090680/ Very moving award-winning Palestinian film from 2008 directed by Annemarie Jacir.In Arabic with English subtitles Awards FIPRESCI PRIZE - INTERNATIONAL CRITICS AWARD International Federation of Film Critics, 2008 FIRST PRIZE - BEST FILM Sguardi Altrove Film Festival, Italy 2009 SPECIAL JURY PRIZE Osians Asian & Arab Film Festival, 2008 BEST FIRST FILM Traverse City Film Festival, 2009 SPECIAL JURY PRIZE Oran International Festival of Arab Cinema, 2009 RANDA CHAHAL PRIZE Journées cinématographiques de Carthage, 2008 BEST SCREENPLAY Dubai International Film Festival, 2008 BEST OF FEST SELECT Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival 2009 AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD Houston Palestine Film Festival, 2009 AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD - BEST FEATURE Chicago Palestine Film Festival, 2009 HONORABLE MENTION Cairo Refugee Film Festival, 2009 AUDIENCE CHOICE RUNNER UP Toronto Palestine Film Festival, 2008 PALESTINE'S OFFICIAL OSCAR ENTRY FOR BEST FOREIGN-LANGUAGE FILM, 2008 SOPADIN FINALIST Grand Prix Best Screenplay, 2007 CINEMA IN MOTION AWARDS San Sebastian Film Festival, 2007
