A Wedding In Ramallah
''A Wedding in Ramallah'' is a 2002 Australian documentary film, created by Sherine Salama, based around an American-based Palestinian man's marriage to a traditional Palestinian young woman. Production ''A Wedding in Ramallah'' was filmed in Palestine and the United States of America over a period of nine months. Reception Paul Byrnes wrote in ''the Sydney Morning Herald'' that it "is an intriguing film - mysterious and playful, dramatic and emotional, but also careful about not abusing a trust. Salama has the ability to remain personally involved as she films. Detachment was never an honest stance for a film-maker, anyway." Writing in ''Variety'' David Stratton says "It’s a sad but probably typical story, and it’s beautifully handled by director Salama, who evidently formed a close bond with her subjects, especially the women. In a film full of humor, the viewer is never allowed to forget the tragic subtext." Samantha Bonar of ''The Los Angeles Times'' finishes "This lo ...

2001 Australian Film Institute Awards
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
