Win Tickets to Salt of This Sea
Salt of This Sea played at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, and will open at the Quad Cinema on Friday, August 13.

Annemarie Jacir's award-winning directorial debut represents a fresh, viscerally affecting, and definitive statement from second-generation Palestinian Americans. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Soraya (spoken-word artist Suheir Hammad) travels to Palestine to retrieve her grandfather's savings, frozen in a Jaffa bank account after his 1948 exile. Struggling to feel at home in the land of her ancestors, she meets Emad (Saleh Bakri), a young Palestinian whose ambition, contrary to hers, is to leave forever. When confronted with unwieldy official policies that deny her access to the fruit of her grandfather's life's work, she must take things into their own hands, even if it's illegal. Stubborn, passionate, and determined to reclaim what's theirs, she and Emad set out on a road trip for poetic justice across a lush Palestinian (now Israeli) landscape—after which there is no return.

Five lucky readers will win a pair of tickets to see Salt of This Sea at any Quad Cinema screening during the weeklong run: August 13-19, 2010. Note: There is no guarantee of seating, so make sure to pick up your tickets at least 30 minutes before the screening to avoid a sellout.
