Yasmine’s Song
Palestine
19 min
Color
Najwa Najjar’s short feature film, Yasmine’s Song, 2005, uses the story of Yasmine, a young Palestinian woman living in a small Palestinian village, to articulate the even greater difficulties Palestinians are facing as their land, villages, communities and families become increasingly divided by the wall. In her film, Najjar examines the stifling effects of the Israeli occupation on Palestinian life through the most universal subject, love.
Najwa was studying Politics, Economics and Film in the USA. She made a number of documentaries and corporate films from the end of the ‘90’s: ‘Naim & Wadee’a’ (2001), ‘Jahwar al Silwan’ (2002), ‘A Boy Called Mohammed’ (2004), ‘They Came From The East, Blue Gold’ (2004). ‘Yasmine Tugani’ is her first short feature.
