About This Movie
Your Father Was Born 100 Years Old, and So Was the Nakba is a haunting meditative piece that leans heavily into the nostalgia and loss experienced by Palestinians. Oum, the grandmother at the center, brings a deeply personal touch, her journey through Haifa’s streets—now just pixels on a screen—feels both eerie and poignant. The pacing is contemplative; the film invites you to linger on memories through a digital lens, contrasting the past with the stark present. It plays with the idea of memory and presence, effectively using technology as a stand-in for a lost home. The atmosphere is thick with longing, and the choice to rely on Google Streetview as a narrative device is quite distinctive. It’s a film that challenges how we perceive connection in a fragmented world.
Unique exploration of digital memory.Reflects on displacement and nostalgia.Interesting use of technology in storytelling.
