Institute History
Description
Amal, a Palestinian woman from Emwas, hears the stories of her home town that was razed by the Israeli army in 1967. In order for her to be able to make peace with herself, and the reality around her, she needs to understand what exactly happened in 1967, why, and what's the future of herself, her family, and her fellow Emwasi villagers. Amal decides to make a model of the village before it was demolished, from the memories of the people who lived there, and the only ones who still do, the monks of the Latrun Monastery, and display it in Emwas.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
