Yes Repeat No United States - 98 min
With Salome Azizi, Mousa Hussein Kraish (American Gods), Adam Meir and Karim Saleh (Vice).
Three actors audition to play Palestinian-Jewish actor/activist Juliano Mer-Khamis, a former IDF paratrooper who identified himself as “100% Palestinian and 100% Jewish.” As their tense rehearsals fracture their own sense of self, they find themselves at odds with their subject, their director, each other, and even themselves. But just when the story begins to implode, something unique happens: you witness the actors in real life, asking questions directly to director Michael Dahan. This brilliant, witty and thoroughly engrossing meta masterpiece tackles the topic of identity, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and film itself in the sure hands of Dahan.
Produced by Michael Dahan, Braxton Pope and Sarah Szalavitz. Edited by Benjamin Shearn. Director of Photography: B.J. Iwen.
