Bye Bye Tiberias (w/ intro & Q&A) - Rochester

  • The Little Theatre 240 East Avenue Rochester, NY, 14604 United States (map)

Years after leaving her Palestinian village to pursue an acting career in France, Hiam Abbass (Succession) returns home with her daughter, in this intimate documentary about four generations of women and their shared legacy of separation.

Braiding together old and new family records with pre-1948 archival material, including poetry and personal narrative, filmmaker Lina Soualem — in a trenchant and assured follow-up to her feature debut Their Algeria — tells a meditative story about four generations of women working hard to mend the seams of multiple separations, forced and chosen.

With a discussion between Yasmina Tawil and Director Lina Soualem.
