COEXISTENCE, MY ASS!

Disillusioned with politics, charismatic and engaging Noam Shuster Eliassi pivots to the world of stand-up comedy to communicate her “radical” message that Palestinians and Israelis deserve human rights equally. Amber Fares’ fascinating film, alternating between hilarity and bone-shaking gravity, intersperses clips from Noam’s funny stage performances with observational scenes of interactions with her parents and her Palestinian best friend—as Noam contends with a media environment and society attempting to pigeonhole her.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director/producer Amber Fares and editor/writer Rabab Haj Yahya.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
