al-Zaman al-bāqī sīrat al-ḥāḍir al-ghāʼib = The time that remains : chronicle of a present absentee
(الزمن الباقي : سيرة الحاضر الغائب.)
2012

DVD

A humorous, heartbreaking film that explores life among the Israeli Arab community, shot largely in homes and places in which Elia Suleiman's family once lived. Inspired by his father's diaries, letters his mother sent to family members who had fled the Israeli occupation, and the director's own recollections, the film recounts the saga of the filmmaker's family in subtly hilarious vignettes.
