Synopsis
A collection of short films by nine Palestinian filmmakers, SUSPENDED TIME was conceived as a way to understand the status quo of image production 20 years after the signing of the Oslo Accords in Washington, D.C. in 1993. Oslo's most obvious impact is that its 'vision' was designed to accommodate Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza. Others living in refugee camps in the surrounding Arab countries, in the Diaspora and Palestinians living in the 1948 territories were excluded, and their rights disregarded. SUSPENDED TIME mirrors this state of fragmentation through the lenses of the filmmakers, who reflect on the Oslo Accords.
