    Projection 2008-2010

    "....Inass Yassin takes us into an exciting excavation of the cinematic modernity of Ramallah beginning with the 1950s. This is a period and a theme which has hardly been touched. Instead of a Cinema Paradiso, we encounter an acute nostalgia reminding us how much modern technology, while potentially and actually giving access to a much wider and versatile cinematic experience, has often been a step backward. That earlier experience was marked, in Yassin’s review, by an intimate sociability, and sense of communal interaction, which has all but disappeared."  Jerusalem Quarterly by Institute for Palestinian Studies, Cinemas and Checkpoints, Editorial, Issue 42, 2010
