Rana's Wedding

Film three in the Palestinian Film Festival. Story is a little flimsy but it is basically a device to get us driving and walking around Jerusalem and Ramallah. It takes us on a journey of what Palestinians deal with on a daily basis just trying to get through the day. At least according to one filmmaker's point of view. Reminded me very much of Wim Wenders’ “Lisbon Story” which takes the viewer on a journey around Lisbon as our protagonist searches for a friend. Film as travel device.
Favorite moment: The opening sequence where Rana’s family pictures tell her life story.
