Sleeping on Stones

Institute History

  • 2006 Rawi Middle East Screenwriters Lab in Jordan

Description

Sleeping on Stones surpasses the confusion of the conflict by following the story of three ten-year-old boys in Hebron: Jacob, the son of American-Jewish settlers, Hamza, a Palestinian Muslim, and his Christian cousin, Yousef. Set during the first Palestinian Intifada, from 1987-1994, the three boys' lives intermesh and together share childhood experiences despite their vastly different lifestyles and upbringings.

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.
