Palestinian film producer May Odeh, wearing the Palestinian flag, arrives for the screening of 'Amira' during the 5th edition of the Gouna Film Festival in Egypt's Red Sea resort of el-Gouna on October 19, 2021.
After screenings at festivals in Italy, Tunisia and Egypt, Diab, a 43-year-old film-maker educated in New York with several awards to his name, had been counting on Jordan, where Amira was filmed, to nominate it to represent the kingdom at the Oscars.“We do believe in the artistic value of the film, and that its message doesn’t harm in any way the Palestinian cause nor that of the prisoners; on the contrary, it highlights their plight, their resilience,” its Royal Film Commission said.
The method served Lydia Rimawi, a Palestinian in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, to give birth to three children.“It’s not a movie such as Amira that will make us bend: nobody on Earth can make us bow our head,” she wrote angrily on Facebook.Under the hashtag #Pull Out Amira”, social media has been awash with criticism of Diab’s work.
“We’ve watched the film from A to Z and, after many sessions to observe the details, we reject it in its entirety,” said its head, Qaddura Fares.
