...Jewish and Palestinian. The viewers - in Nazareth and Beirut, Lebanon's capital - were all Palestinian, members of a house divided against itself. Hassan's film, which screened last week in Cairo and will be shown this week in Zurich and Barcelona, explores the aftermath of fighting between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian guerrillas in the Jenin refugee camp a year ago. It is particularly important to Hassan, who - despite the restrictions imposed on his movement in the Arab world by his Israeli citizenship - desperately wants his message to be heard throughout the Middle East, including Israel. That's why Hassan made...
