Santa Claus tries to outrun a gang of knife-wielding youth. It's one of several vignettes of Palestinian life in Israel - in a neighborhood in Nazareth and at Al-Ram checkpoint in East Jerusalem. Most of the stories are droll, some absurd, one is mythic and fanciful; few words are spoken. A man who goes through his mail methodically each morning has a heart attack. His son visits him in the hospital. The son regularly meets a woman at Al-Ram; they sit in a car, hands caressing. Once, she defies Israeli guards at the checkpoint; later, ninja-like, she takes on soldiers at a target range. A red balloon floats free overhead. Neighbors toss garbage over walls. Life goes on until it doesn't.
Divine Intervention is a 2002 Palestinian drama-comedy that weaves together vignettes of daily life in Nazareth and East Jerusalem, from absurdist encounters to intimate moments at checkpoints. Directed by Elia Suleiman, the film uses minimal dialogue and surreal imagery to capture the texture of Palestinian existence under occupation. Now available as a released film, it remains a singular work of poetic resistance cinema.
