About
(Elia Suleiman, Palestine & France, 2002, 92min, in Arabic, English, and Arabic, Hebrew, and English with English subtitles)
In Nazareth, under a guise of banal normalcy, the town embraces folly.
Under pressure from his failing business, a man takes matters into his own hands and tries to break a chain reaction of petty feuds. He breaks down himself. The man is E.S. father.
A love story takes place between a Palestinian man living in Jerusalem and a Palestinian woman from Ramallah. The man E.S. shifts between his ailing father and his love life, trying to keep both alive.
Because of the political situation, the womans freedom of movement ends at the Israeli army checkpoint between the two cities. Barred from crossing, the lovers intimate encounters take place on a deserted lot right beside the checkpoint. The lovers are unable to exempt reality from occupation.
A complicity of solemn desire begins to generate violent repercussions and, against the odds, their angry hearts counter-attack with spasms of spectacular fantasy .
Presented as a part of Palestine Cinema Days 2025
On the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, observed on November 2nd, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices, we are screening Divine Intervention directed by Elia Suleiman at 7:00 p.m. at Northwest Film Forum. The screening is free of charge.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at rajah@nwfilmforum.org
