Canticle of the Stones
Canticle of the Stones tells the story of two Palestinian lovers, now in
their forties. They had barely fallen in love nearly twenty years
earlier when he was imprisoned for political activity. She ran off to
the United States to overcome her grief. Years later, she comes back to
Jerusalem to study the Intifada's impact on Palestinian society only to
find him released from prison. Against a backdrop of resistance and
repression, they fall in love again.
This lyrical film strives to fill the gap between fiction and reality.
Its poetic dialog is beautifully intertwined with the harsh language of
military occupation and resistance. Canticle of the Stones is Michel
Khleifi's second feature, after his brilliant film debut, Wedding in
Galilee.
The Palestinian Film Series, produced by The Los Angeles Palestine Labor
Solidarity Committee and !Café Intifada! in conjunction with the
Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions, is a monthly film series
featuring a different Palestinian film each month, along with speakers,
artist, musicians, and poets. The Purpose of the film series is to
raise awareness of the culture, social conditions and political climate
in Palestine in general and facing Palestinian labor in particular,
while simultaneously raising funds for the Palestinian General
Federation of Trade Unions toward the production of a documentary film
on Palestinian labor issues.
