Salt of this Sea.

I recently received an email from Suheir Hammad updating me on her latest:

“last year i spent 3 months in palestine, the longest amount of time i’d ever been allowed to stay there. i had the honor of working on annemarie jacir’s film, salt of this sea. the film is important to me for many reasons, and while i’m not an actress, the film’s story and the larger story it was engaging in are very dear to my heart. we all did our best, and cannes noticed by officially selecting it for the un certain regard category.

the film’s site has a link to a facebook page which is updated with festival news, awards, press and photos. please fwd the links to your friends and groups of good folk. there is info for festivals and distributors on the site as well.

other than a bit of press, i haven’t talked much about my experience because it was so much. it will take me years and times to express the magic fully. in the mean times, holla.
