Movie tonight at the Wexner

The Wexner Center is showing The Time that Remains, a film by famous Palestinian director Elia Suleiman (you may have heard of his movie Divine Intervention).

Description: "This dark comedy is Suleiman's semi-autobiographical account of Palestinian life from the 1948 formation of Israel—referred to as "the catastrophe" by Palestinians—to the present day. The film comprises four episodes of family stories based on Suleiman's father’s diary entries as a resistance fighter in 1948 and his mother's letters to loved ones who were forced to leave the country."

The show begins at 7 PM, tonight. Event site: http://www.wexarts.org/fv/index.php?eventid=5627
