Let It Be Morning is a film about "the state of siege”, a term coined by the great Palestinian poet Mahmud Darwish. The siege is no less internal than external, and “Let It Be Morning” is a Kafkaesque story about the essence of that feeling, told through the story of Sami, a Jerusalemite who is unable to return home after attending his brother’s visit.

From director Eran Kolirin (The Band’s Visit) and adapted from the 2006 novel by Sayed Kashua, this wry and thoughtful comedy is the winner of the 2021 Ophir Award (Israeli Oscars) for Best Film, and is Israel’s submission for Best International Film at the 2022 Academy Awards

The story is told in Arabic about a Palestinian village, written in Hebrew by a Palestinian author (Sayed Kashua), directed by a Jewish Israeli director with a Palestinian cast.

Join us after the screening at the Jewish International Film Festival (JIFF) for a conversation and Q&A with director Eran Kolirin to delve into the many ideas that the movie explores.
