Renowned Palestinian filmmaker Annemarie Jacir has revealed the details of her next movie. The movie which is titled, ‘Wajib‘ will showcase the life of an estranged father who tries to reconnect with his son.

“It’s a dark comedy about the relationship between a father and son, who has returned home after a long absence”, said Annemarie.

The film will portray a story in the backdrop of one day, and the incidents will take place in the City of Nazreth. As per Annemarie, the film is loaded with lots of dark humor.

“The film will also touch on the situation of Palestinians – the economic and social implications — but not in an overtly obvious way”, added Annemarie.

The director is in Cannes now, and she is busy talking to potential co-producing partners and sales companies for this new movie.

Ossama Bawardi, a long term collaborator of the director is producing this flick. Saleh Bakri has been reportedly signed to play the lead role in the movie.

Apart from this new venture, Annemarie is also busy with another movie, ‘Trojan Woman’ in which she does the role of co producer. The movie is being directed by Dictynna Hood, and it will showcase the impact of war on women.
