Film: Hanna K. (1983)
October 06, 2016
The buried and forgotten film by Costa-Gavras
1983 | Dir. Costa-Gavras | France, Israel | 111min. | English
Followed by discussion.
Costa-Gavras (Konstantinos Gavras), the career of one of the most renown directors of "political films" took a dive in 1983 after a string of highly successful films: Z (1969), State of Siege (1972), Missing (1982). His film, Hanna K., was the first western-made film with a half-sympathetic view of Palestinians living under Israel's military occupation.
It is being screened at Beit Zatoun because it has become "lost" and almost impossible to view. Not a great film by Costa-Gavras standards, it nonetheless is worth watching as a statement and view of Palestinian reality in 1983 (a yet young 1967-occupation, pre-Intifada, pre-Oslo). The film is notable for the debut of leading Palestinian actor, Muhammad Bakri..
Edward Said commented about the film: "As a political as well as cinematic intervention, Hanna K. is a statement of a great and I believe, lasting significance."
