A reflection upon what it means to become a celebrated Palestinian director, Awkward is a darkly humorous account of the reception of Elia Suleiman"s film Divine Intervention. Awkward is result of a collection of short-films commissioned by the Cannes Film Festival reflecting on the nature of cinema and its place within the lives of filmmakers. As a response to the commission, Awkward reveals to us much about not only Suleiman"s conception of the role of cinema but also the difficulty faced by Palestinian filmmakers when critically engaging with the issue of Palestine.
