| When a Palestinian film crew decides to avert a closed checkpoint by taking a remote side road, the political landscape unravels, and the passengers are slowly taken apart by the mundane brutality of military occupation. Both a visual poem and a narrative, like twenty impossibles wryly questions artistic responsibility and the politics of filmmaking, while speaking to the fragmentation of a people. LIKE TWENTY IMPOSSIBLES (Ka'inana Ashrun Mustaheel) was the first Arab short film to ever be an Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival, and went on to become a National Finalist for the Academy Awards as well as winning Best Film at Palm Springs, Chicago, IFP/New York, Nantucket, and Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film festivals. It screened at 250 film festivals including the New York Film Festival, Dubai, Locarno, Telluride, Edinburgh, and Karlovy Vary. |
