Fourth Film in our Nadi Al-Cinema (Film Series) focused on Music Across the Arab World.
Film: Slingshot Hip Hop (2008), Director: Jacqueline Reem Salloum
About Film: Slingshot Hip Hop braids together the stories of young Palestinians living in Gaza, the West Bank and inside Israel as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to surmount divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing the borders that separate them.
The Film won several awards including: “Documentary Competition” Sundance Film Festival 2008; Top 3 Finalist for the IDFA– “DOC U” Competition, Amsterdam; “Audience Award: Best Documentary“ Films de Femmes, France; “Audience Award: Best Film“ DOX BOX Film Festival, Syria...

Film is co-sponsored by the Chicago Palestine Film Festival.
