“200 Meters” debuted as part of the Venice Days competition at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the BNL People’s Choice Audience Award. It’s currently playing in the Feature Narrative Competition at the El Gouna Film Festival, where earlier this week, the film’s Palestinian producer May Odeh picked up the Variety MENA Award.

Nayfeh says that life mirrored art when the film crew went to the Venice Film Festival: “The story is about freedom of movement, so for Ali Suliman, he has an Israeli passport as he is from Nazareth.

Referring to when Mustafa meets the Berlin-based filmmaker on his journey, Nayfeh says: “Of course it’s a direct reference to the history of Germany and the situation in the region today, and also to the Berlin Wall.”
