Ajami
Scandar Copti is a Palestinian. Yaron Shani is an Israeli. Together they have collaborated on an extraordinary crime drama set on the mean streets of Ajami, one of the toughest neighbourhoods in Jaffa. Weaving together stories of violence and vendettas, illegal refugees and conscience-stricken cops, dreams of escape and hopes of sanctuary, they have created a film that offers a startling insight into the tensions, resentments and misunderstandings that are part of everyday life in Ajami.
Winner of the London Film Festival’s Sutherland Trophy, a prize previously given to Persepolis, Red Road and Tarnation.
