Lift up your heads, O ye gates

And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors

And the King of glory shall come in

Lift up your heads, O ye gates

And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors

And the King of glory shall come in

Open the door.

Father, even if God comes down, we won't open.

I said, open the door.

We won't open,

even if the sky falls.

Open the door before I grab you and finish you off.

I will smash your bottle over both your heads.

Open the door!

His Holiness doesn't get it.

Father, you have your head in the clouds.

I'll tell you what, Father,

how about you take off and come back later?

We might open then.

Forgive me Lord.

Have mercy, Father!

Neighbor, don't think I'm stealing.

I usually knock on the door for permission.

I did knock, but no one was there.

Our sister says the food is sour.

Sour?

What do you mean by sour?

I'm not sure, but it tastes acidic.

I'm sorry you don't like it.

But that acidity comes from the wine sauce.

It's how it should taste.

What did you say?

Did you say wine?

Yes, wine.

White.

So you are telling us our sister was downing alcohol

without us knowing?

It wasn't exactly your sister

but the chicken who downed the alcohol.

That's how it is then!

You're going to pay for this.

Are you aware of that?

I'm to blame, I'm very sorry.

I should have warned you.

These two glasses are on the house.

And we'll top them up.

Neighbor,

it's time this lemon tree got pruned.

You'll see, after I do it, the lemons will be this big.

Neighbor!

Neighbor!

Neighbor...

The other day, I had an urge to go hunting.

As I was lurking for boars,

I look up

and see a large eagle,

its wings spread, each 2 meters long,

whirling around, as if looking for something.

I look closer And what do I see?

A giant snake coiled up.

Suddenly, the eagle brings its wings in

and swoops down on it, like a rocket.

Before it grabs the snake, I put a bullet in it,

it drops dead next to it.

The snake lifts its head,

stares at me, then at the eagle,

then back at me,

lifts its head up, does like this to me

and slides away.

A few days later, I was sitting home bored.

I told my wife I was going out.

I took my rifle and went hunting.

The sun set,

it started to get chilly.

I had a dozen partridges hanging from my waist.

I said to myself: Let's go home.

I get to my Jeep and find it slanted like that.

The rear tire completely flat.

Then, I hear a noise in the bushes.

I point my rifle,

thinking it's a hyena coming out to eat me.

Let's get it before it gets me.

I had only one bullet left.

I point my rifle and right before pulling the trigger,

who do I see?

The snake.

That same snake.

It comes towards me,

my gun still pointed at it,

passes by me,

and goes straight for the flat tire.

It opens its mouth and puts it around the valve.

It breathes in and out into the tire.

Inhale and exhale.

It blew into it until it became hard as a rock.

Then, it looked at me, lifted its neck,

did like this to me

and slid away.

Neighbor,

now I'll go home, make a barbecue,

with a few glasses of Arak.

Come join me, neighbor, you're most welcome.

You, come over!

Piss off.

Neighbor...

I've never pissed this much in my life.

I cannot stop.

Mr. Suleiman, thank you for sharing this project with us.

As you know, this is the type of project that interests us.

This is a film about the Palestinian conflict.

We have a certain sympathy for the Palestinian cause.

It's not at all that we want a film that would be too didactic

or exotic about Palestine.

But we could almost say your film is not Palestinian enough.

I'm not saying that for commercial reasons.

You know this kind of films don't make money.

We make them only

because we're trying to be useful.

However, this project doesn't correspond to our editorial policy.

In the sense that it takes place in Palestine,

but it might as well be elsewhere.

It could even take place here.

Therefore, I don't think we'll be moving forward.

Of course, we would have loved to.

Despite our initial excitement,

I'm afraid it will be a no go for us.

Did you understand what I said? Do you get it?

- Hello ma'am. - Good Morning

We came to check your patio.

Everything looks good.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Have a good day.

It's in compliance. Let's go.

So...

What country do you come from?

Nazareth

Nazareth

Nazareth, is that a country?

I'm Palestinian

Palestinian?

Goodness gracious! Let me look at you

I've never seen a Palestinian!

a Palestinian inside of my cab, isn't that something?

"Karafat", right?

I love "Karafat", he's my man

Oh Brother, goodness gracious!

Well, guess what? this ride is on me

Yes, sir!

Hey honey, you'll never guess who's in my cab

A Palestinian!

Yes, Ma'am, you ever seen a Palestinian before?

"Karafat", you remember "Karafat"

Jesus, honey, it ain't "Karafat" in my cab, my man's from Nazareth

Jesus of Nazareth!

First...

Welcome to New York, It's good to have you here at our school

I will start by asking you to share with us your experience as a filmmaker

and to speak about the ways of being and feeling

that have or have not permitted you to achieve...

the conditions of becoming what we call a citizen of the world

Is you sense, your identity...

of place a thing of the past?

Has your nomadic exsistence extinguished your love of one place?

and extended it to a love of all places?

In other words

are you a perfect stranger?

And now...

I'm gonna introduce you

our speakers

Ali Maarabouni,

Fadwa Amine,

Widad Sharif.

Brothers and sisters, please guys, please

please, I need you to hear me

As you can see, we have many speakers today

Our heros

Our loved ones from the homeland

Our beloved homeland, Palestine.

Guys!

Please listen to me.

Please, I need you to calm down, please

Please

Our speakers know your appreciation of their struggle

And your sympathy, and your backing

But if we go on clapping this way,

time will be up before anyone gets to speak.

So please,

a little calm.

One clap will do That should be enough, trust me.

This much.

Agreed?

Meta Flms

She's busy at the moment, could she call you back?

Okay

Okay, bye

Hey,

what's up?

No, I'm here.

Waiting for a meeting with an American producer.

Well, she's not American, I don't know where she's from.

It's for a project on the conquest of Mexico.

For the 500th anniversary of the conquest.

About Cortes, Moctezuma and all that stuff.

But they want to do it in English.

In English, can you imagine?

They want the Spanish to speak English.

And the indigenous to speak in Nahuatl or any other language.

They don't care.

So they'd sound like:

"Hello, my name is Hernando Cortes and I want to conquer you."

It's going to be terrible, really.

But I won't do it. I'll tell her no.

I'm here with my friend Elia, Elia Suleiman.

He's a Palestinian from...

He's not a Palestinian from Israel.

He's a Palestinian from Palestine.

Yes, Palestine.

Palestine!

Listen, we'll talk later, ok?

Sorry, I'll call you later, bye.

Hey Gael.

- How are you? - Good, and you?

- Good. - Good.

It's good to see you, It's been such a long time

- Yeah - You look a bit tired

- Are you sure you're ok? Good - Oh yeah, I'm perfect, yeah

Let me present you to my very good friend Elia Suleiman

- He's a Palestinian filmmaker - Nice to meet you

But he makes funny films

He's doing a comedy right now about peace in the Middle East

That's funny already

it's called "Heaven Can Wait"

Okay, sweety, we're sort of late so do you mind if we go now?

Yes

Good luck with your film, It was a pleasure to meet you

Bye

Do you need a cab?

Okay

Oh, now that's interesting

Will there be Palestine?

Will there be Palestine?

Okay

Okay

There will be Palestine

Absolutely!

It's gonna happen

Wait a minute, hang on

Hang on

Okay, Good, Good

Yes

There will be Palestine

It's gonna happen

But...

But...

It ain't gonna happen in your lifetime, or mine

Listen, excuse me,

but I want to tell you something.

You Palestinians are a weird bunch.

The whole world drinks...

in order to forget.

You're the only people

who drinks...

in order to remember.

Cheers.
