And almost none where the characters’ derailed dreams and deflated enthusiasm hit us harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not just talking about the students. Sarnet (Deniz Celiloğlu), the teacher at the center of Turkish filmmaker Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s riveting \u003cem>About Dry Grasses\u003c/em> (screening April 6 and 14 at the \u003ca href=\"https://roxie.com/production/about-dry-grasses/#showtimes\">Roxie\u003c/a>), exudes idealism and commitment from the moment we encounter him traipsing through a snowy rural landscape in Eastern Anatolia. A city fellow in his fourth (and hopefully final) year assigned to a remote village school, he may not totally fit in with the local lifers but we sense that he’s one of the good guys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the more time we spend with Sarnet — and Ceylan’s quietly piercing drama runs three-and-a-quarter hours, on par with the filmmaker’s previous two films — the more we come to see his elitism and arrogance. It trickles out in his interactions with his fellow teacher and roommate Kenan (Musab Ekici), but really reveals itself in Sarnet’s dealings with the film’s two female characters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not coincidence or happenstance; nothing is, in Ceylan’s measured social critiques. The dialogue is rife with hints about the power of Turkish authorities (the police, the education ministry) and the pressures of family and tradition.

When his favorite student, Sevim (stellar newcomer Ece Bağci), has a love letter confiscated from her personal belongings by another teacher during an impromptu and shocking classroom search, he manages to obtain it for her.

Instead we get people’s complexity, and a glimpse at how a hurt and angry liberal will resort to the kind of repressive actions he would ascribe to those he considers reactionaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all know exactly who and what these people are,” Sarnet tells his class after he angrily orders Sevim out in the hall the next day. “It’s just a few, isn’t it?” Then he advises his students, in a heinous act of blacklisting, to ostracize Sevim. (His instruction doesn’t seem to stick, fortunately.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarnet’s response to Sevim’s allegation suggests that his altruism was skin deep. Perhaps his bitterness and cynicism are symptoms of his (first) midlife crisis.

Nuray lost a leg in a suicide bomb attack in Ankara and moved back to the area to live with her parents. Fiercely independent and an avowed socialist, she is having a hard time re-adjusting to the rhythms of village life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everything seems to take so long here — lessons, breaks, waiting for weekends, nights, everything,” she says. She gently prods Sarnet to pursue his oft-mentioned wish to move to Istanbul, while side-eyeing Kenan (who likewise grew up in the area, and has the additional advantage of being dark and handsome).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of \u003cem>About Dry Grasses\u003c/em> takes place indoors, fueled by tea and conversation, with the incipient claustrophobia broken by brief escapes outdoors for lovely open vistas of white nothingness. Talk, in this world, is as much a way of passing the time as it is of deepening connections.

The dialogue is rife with hints about the power of Turkish authorities (the police, the education ministry) and the pressures of family and tradition.

A parable of freedom, pain and beauty, \u003cem>Bye Bye Tiberias\u003c/em> (playing Friday, March 8–Sunday, March 10 at the Roxie) traverses four generations to tell a universal story of defying parental expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film’s central subject, Soualem’s mother, is the renowned Palestinian actress Hiam Abbass (who will appear in conversation with Israeli-Palestinian actress Clara Khoury after the Saturday show). Best known these days as Marcia Roy in HBO’s \u003cem>Succession\u003c/em>, the France-based Abbass became an international star with the politically charged Middle Eastern dramas \u003cem>Paradise Now\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Lemon Tree\u003c/em>, and the Hollywood epics \u003cem>Munich\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Blade Runner 2049\u003c/em>.[aside postID='arts_13952306']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Abass’s story, as told in this film, really starts a dozen years before she was born, when her parents fled their home in Tiberias for the Lebanon border during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. One of their daughters had already crossed into Syria, and they planned to follow her. But then the father, a farmer, couldn’t bring himself to leave Palestine. He and Abbass’s mother went back to the Galilee region, settling in the village of Deir Hanna, in what was now (and what remains) northern Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiam Abbass and most of her other siblings were born in Deir Hanna, and the family appears to have gone on to live relatively stable, highly educated lives there. (They also eventually reunited, many years later, with their daughter who fled, after she made a surreptitious and risky trip from Syria.) But the trauma of being uprooted from their original home led to the father’s premature demise, according to family lore. Disoriented, he would stand by the road asking passers-by if they’d seen his cows. The events of 1948 are clearly woven throughout both the family’s narrative and the film’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Otherwise, \u003cem>Bye Bye Tiberias\u003c/em> jumps back and forth in time, beginning with home movies that Hiam Abbass shot in 1992 when she returned to Deir Hanna to present her toddler, Lina, to the family. These opening scenes establish and explain the presence of Lina, the filmmaker, as the narrator, and as her mother’s interviewer in contemporary footage shot in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also plant the expectation that \u003cem>Bye Bye Tiberias\u003c/em> will be a personal excavation of family and political history for Lina, who was born and raised in Europe. But she stays in the background, for better or worse, rarely onscreen. The filmmaker seems content to let Mom hold the emotional center, along with her grandmother, Um Ali, a direct link to the exile evoked through black-and-white archival footage of the Nakba (which translates to “Catastrophe,” as Palestinians describe their eviction and displacement during and after the 1948 war).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13953649\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13953649\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747.jpg\" alt=\"a portrait of an older mother and adult daughter, both fair skinned with dark hair and wearing red lipstick, against a black background\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Palestinian actress and film director Hiam Abbass (L) and her daughter, French-Palestinian-Algerian filmmaker and actress Lina Soualem, pose during a photo session in Paris on Febr. 13, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joel Saget/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hiam was born in Deir Hanna, the fifth of eight daughters (and 10 children overall), where some of her siblings still reside.

But at the time, it took a lot of guts, even if she extricated herself from her family and country through a time-honored method: marriage. (Abbass fell in love with an Englishman, she notes. She wasn’t being strategic or calculating, though the relationship had the desired result.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abbass’s decision to pursue an acting career abroad was undoubtedly the right one — “I was the child who had to escape,” she says — but it was accompanied by a raft of emotions. Palestine’s entry for the International Feature Film Oscar, \u003cem>Bye Bye Tiberias\u003c/em> lets us imagine how it felt to be “the one who left” when Abbass came home for visits, and gives just a fleeting hint of any jealousy and resentment her sisters obliquely expressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her most palpable regret, or greatest twinge of guilt, involves her mother.

A parable of freedom, pain and beauty, \u003cem>Bye Bye Tiberias\u003c/em> (playing Friday, March 8–Sunday, March 10 at the Roxie) traverses four generations to tell a universal story of defying parental expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The film’s central subject, Soualem’s mother, is the renowned Palestinian actress Hiam Abbass (who will appear in conversation with Israeli-Palestinian actress Clara Khoury after the Saturday show). Best known these days as Marcia Roy in HBO’s \u003cem>Succession\u003c/em>, the France-based Abbass became an international star with the politically charged Middle Eastern dramas \u003cem>Paradise Now\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Lemon Tree\u003c/em>, and the Hollywood epics \u003cem>Munich\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Blade Runner 2049\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13952306","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Abass’s story, as told in this film, really starts a dozen years before she was born, when her parents fled their home in Tiberias for the Lebanon border during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. One of their daughters had already crossed into Syria, and they planned to follow her. But then the father, a farmer, couldn’t bring himself to leave Palestine. He and Abbass’s mother went back to the Galilee region, settling in the village of Deir Hanna, in what was now (and what remains) northern Israel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hiam Abbass and most of her other siblings were born in Deir Hanna, and the family appears to have gone on to live relatively stable, highly educated lives there. (They also eventually reunited, many years later, with their daughter who fled, after she made a surreptitious and risky trip from Syria.) But the trauma of being uprooted from their original home led to the father’s premature demise, according to family lore. Disoriented, he would stand by the road asking passers-by if they’d seen his cows. The events of 1948 are clearly woven throughout both the family’s narrative and the film’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Otherwise, \u003cem>Bye Bye Tiberias\u003c/em> jumps back and forth in time, beginning with home movies that Hiam Abbass shot in 1992 when she returned to Deir Hanna to present her toddler, Lina, to the family. These opening scenes establish and explain the presence of Lina, the filmmaker, as the narrator, and as her mother’s interviewer in contemporary footage shot in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also plant the expectation that \u003cem>Bye Bye Tiberias\u003c/em> will be a personal excavation of family and political history for Lina, who was born and raised in Europe. But she stays in the background, for better or worse, rarely onscreen. The filmmaker seems content to let Mom hold the emotional center, along with her grandmother, Um Ali, a direct link to the exile evoked through black-and-white archival footage of the Nakba (which translates to “Catastrophe,” as Palestinians describe their eviction and displacement during and after the 1948 war).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13953649\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13953649\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747.jpg\" alt=\"a portrait of an older mother and adult daughter, both fair skinned with dark hair and wearing red lipstick, against a black background\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/03/GettyImages-2001172747-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Palestinian actress and film director Hiam Abbass (L) and her daughter, French-Palestinian-Algerian filmmaker and actress Lina Soualem, pose during a photo session in Paris on Febr. 13, 2024. \u003ccite>(Joel Saget/AFP via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hiam was born in Deir Hanna, the fifth of eight daughters (and 10 children overall), where some of her siblings still reside. Abbass wrote poetry throughout her adolescence and studied photography in college before moving to Jerusalem to pursue acting — in secret. “Everything suffocated me,” she recalls. “Even the people I loved suffocated me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most modern viewers will applaud Abbass’s artistic ambitions, and see her need to go and grow beyond her traditional family as not just natural but admirable. But at the time, it took a lot of guts, even if she extricated herself from her family and country through a time-honored method: marriage. (Abbass fell in love with an Englishman, she notes. She wasn’t being strategic or calculating, though the relationship had the desired result.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abbass’s decision to pursue an acting career abroad was undoubtedly the right one — “I was the child who had to escape,” she says — but it was accompanied by a raft of emotions. Palestine’s entry for the International Feature Film Oscar, \u003cem>Bye Bye Tiberias\u003c/em> lets us imagine how it felt to be “the one who left” when Abbass came home for visits, and gives just a fleeting hint of any jealousy and resentment her sisters obliquely expressed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her most palpable regret, or greatest twinge of guilt, involves her mother. FaceTime may be the next best thing to being there, but it isn’t the same thing. (And it didn’t exist until 2010.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we know how to become mothers,” Hiam tells Lina. “But we never know how to separate from a mother.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some moviegoers may be inclined to approach \u003cem>Bye Bye Tiberias\u003c/em> through a political lens given the terrible present moment of war, suffering and displacement. But the interactions between Hiam and Um Ali ground us in a primary, universal relationship. We get Hiam’s residual sorrow, not for the road not taken but for the price of being true to one’s soul (artistic or otherwise).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abbass’s self-exile, precipitated by neither political events nor military force, is fraught with layers.

People dining inside a high-end restaurant while others sleep on the sidewalk outside. Jacque, who is Black, walking the neighborhood with “missing” signs for her daughter, whom she believes is with a child abuser and drug dealer, and noting that “the police don’t seem to give a shit.” Moments later, news blares from a bar TV, reporting that the reward for a missing white woman at the University of Iowa has climbed to $172,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the film’s end — again, the narratives span five years — some of the subjects have finally gotten off the Section 8 housing waitlist and into their own homes, modest spaces that feel palatial and triumphant to the viewer after even an hour of watching scenes in SROs.
