Tel Aviv on Fire, directed by Sameh Zoabi (Israel, France, Belgium and Luxembourg, 2018, 100 minutes)
Salam, an ambitious 30-year-old Palestinian who lives in Jerusalem, is working on the set of the famous Palestinian soap opera Tel Aviv on Fire, which is produced in Ramallah. Every day, to get to the television studios, Salam has to go through the strict Israeli security controls. That is where Assi works, the commander in charge of the checkpoint, whose wife is a huge fan of the show. To impress her, Assi gets involved in writing the script. Salam realizes that Assi’s ideas may be the best thing that has ever happened to him.
Sameh Zoabi
Born and raised in Iksal, a Palestinian town near Nazareth, he graduated from the University of Tel Aviv in Film Studies and English Literature. He was then awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to complete an Advanced Master’s degree in Film Directing at the Columbia University School of Arts. He also received prestigious fellowships from the Cinefondation at the Cannes Film Festival and the Sundance Screenwriters Laboratory.
Zoabi’s unique voice was acknowledged by the magazine “Filmmaker,” and he was named one of the “25 Best Faces in Independent Film.” His work has been shown and he has won awards at many international film festivals, including Cannes, Toronto, Locarno, Sundance, Karlovy Vary and New York.
