60 years of Palestinian history in under two hours.

In the Time That Remains, Elia Suleiman captures the absurdity of the Palestinian experience through the lens of a family over two generations. His carefully composed images and deadpan humor evoke Buster Keaton, Jacques Tati, or even Wes Anderson—but Suleiman’s voice is entirely his own and he wields his humor as a distinct form of resistance.

In this Episode, we’re joined by longtime Filmstelle member Federico. We wouldn’t, and couldn’t, talk about this remarkable film without him.
