Larson\, Washington Post \n“Zoabi relies on the old adage that we have more in common than not\, but it’s a lesson that bears repeating – particularly when laughs come with it.” – David Lewis\, San Francisco Chronicle \n  \nSalam\, a charming 30-year-old Palestinian living in Jerusalem\, works as an intern on a popular Palestinian soap opera\, “Tel Aviv on Fire\,” which is produced in Ramallah. Every day Salam must pass through an arduous Israeli checkpoint to reach the television studios. He meets the commander of the check-point\, Assi\, whose wife is a huge fan of the show. In order to impress her\, Assi gets involved in the writing of the show. Salam soon realizes that Assi’s ideas could get him a promotion as a screenwriter. Salam’s creative career catches fire\, until Assi and the soap’s financial backers disagree on how the soap opera should end. Squeezed between an Army Officer and the Arab backers\, Salam can only solve his problems with a final master stroke. \n  \n7 WINS\, 11 NOMINATIONS:  \nWON – Best Screenplay\, Asia Pacific Screen Awards\, 2018\nWON – Israeli Film Competition/Best Film\, Haifa International Film Festival\, 2018\nWON – Audience Choice Award/World Cinema-Narrative\, Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival\, 2019\nWON – Audience Award/Best in World Cinema\, Sarasota Film Festival\, 2019\nWON – Best Film\, Seattle International Film Festival\, 2019\nNOMINATED – Best Film/Best Screenplay\, Awards of the Israeli Film Academy\, 2019\nNOMINATED – Spirit of the Festival Award\, Cork International Film Festival\, 2018 \n
