Omar, Sunday 18 May GFT
Omar
Sunday 18 May
The titular Omar (Adam Bakri) is a thoughtful young baker who routinely climbs over the separation wall to visit his love, Nadia. When he is captured by the Israeli military for his involvement in the random murder of an Israeli soldier, he is forced to become an informant. A depiction of both personal love and political trials, this film gives a striking portrait of a conflict without end that divides loyalties and makes normal life impossible.
Screening as part of the Middle Eastern Film Festival 2014, with an introduction from Elwira Grossman, Lecturer in School of Modern Languages and Culture at the University of Glasgow.
