Return to Haifa: The Other's Story / 2015

Il film è tratto dall’omonimo romanzo di Ghassan Kanafani, scrittore, poeta, intellettuale e dirigente del Fronte Popolare di Liberazione della Palestina (FPLP), assassinato dal Mossad nel 1972 a Beirut. Kanafani seppe descrivere la vita dei profughi e l’esilio della Nakba (la “catastrofe” del 1948), come nessun altro scrittore palestinese. Molte delle sue storie brevi trattano del destino individuale del profugo schiacciato tra le tragiche realtà dell’occupazione e l’esilio. Non a caso nel mondo occidentale questa pellicola, datata 1981, non è mai arrivata attraverso canali ufficiali. Sfruttando il punto di vista “”corale”” di una famiglia palestinese, viene mostrato cosa è accaduto nei giorni dell’occupazione tra esecuzioni, espropri e deportazioni di massa.
