‘Permission to Narrate’, Nadje Abu El-Haj, Aleida Assmann, Daniella Schwartz & Fazil Moradi

A brilliant reminder of how much can be said in such a short work. This is as intense and memorable a distillation of what the conflict means, in terms of memory, repression and obfuscation. A display of genuine bravery in exploring this theme so very close to home. I can’t praise this accomplishment highly enough (Ranen Omer-Sherman, Co-Editor, Shofar)

A true gem: so simple, yet so sophisticated and thrilling. It captivates you, and breaks your heart (Anton Shammas, Writer)

A very personal way of breaking the silence (Aleida Assmann, cultural theorist)

Schwartz is of a new generation of Israeli Jews who challenge the dominant Zionist narrative by pressing her own grandparents for a more honest version of their story (Benjamin Doherty, jurnalist)

This beautiful short film is truly wonderful — structured like a tale, powerful and fascinating. (Elias Khouri, Palestinian author)

A moving and remarkably intelligent film. Truly impressive. (Avi Mograbi, Filmmaker)
