Elia Suleiman Career

Life and career

Suleiman lived in New York City, where he co-directed Introduction to an Argument (1990) and directed Homage by Assassination (1990), which received many awards.

Introduction to the End of an Argument, an experimental video film directed by Jayce Salloum, challenged the portrayal of Arabs in Western media and its impact on foreign policy by combining clips from Hollywood films, television broadcasts, and cartoons with live scenes (shot by Salloum) from the West Bank and Gaza.

The Assassination of the 1991 Gulf War is represented in the juxtaposition of multilayered personal anecdotes and identity. Ella Shohat and Robert Stam's "cultural disembodiment" is depicted in "multiple failures of communication" that reveal the inconsistencies of a "diasporic subject."

Suleiman moved to Jerusalem in 1994 and began teaching at Birzeit University in the West Bank. He was given the task of establishing a Film and Media Department at the university with European Commission funding. Elia Suleiman became a professor at Saas-Fee's European Graduate School in 2008. He continues to lecture in other universities around the world.

Suleiman produced Chronicle of a Disappearance, his first feature film. At the 1996 Venice Film Festival, it was named Best First Film Prize.

Divine Intervention, subtitled, Suleiman's second feature film, A Chronicle of Love and Pain, received the Jury Prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and the International Critics Prize (FIPRESCI), as well as the Best Foreign Film Award at the European Awards in Rome.

The Time That Remains, the third film in his trilogy, debuted in the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. On October 17, 2009, Suleiman received the Black Pearl award for best Middle Eastern narrative film at the Middle Eastern Film Festival in Abu Dhabi. At the Mar del Plata International Film Festival, the film received the Critics' Award from the Argentinean Film Critics Association.

It Must Be Heaven, his latest film, appeared in the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and had its North American premiere at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival.

Suleiman's film, The Arab Dream (Al Hilm Al-Arabi), delves into identity issues, claiming that: "I don't have a homeland to say I live in exile..." "I live in postmortem; daily life, not death." In 1997, Suleiman produced War and Peace in Vesoul, which was also a short film.

Suleiman released the 15-minute short film "Cyber Palestine" in 2000, following a modern-day Mary and Joseph as they attempt to cross from Gaza to Bethlehem. Suleiman, 78-79, was a member of the Cannes Film Festival's nine-person jury.
