In Between ( Arabic: بَر بَحَر, romanized: Bar Baḥr, lit. 'Land, Sea'; Hebrew: לא פה, לא שם, lit. 'Not Here, Not There') is a 2016 Palestinian-Israeli-French film directed by Maysaloun Hamoud, about three women of Palestinian heritage sharing a flat in Tel Aviv. [7]
The film depicts three young Israeli-Arab women living in liberal Tel Aviv, their struggles with the rule-bound Arab world and the inequality of Israeli society and their desire to free themselves. [8]
Producer Shlomi Elkabetz and writer-director Maysaloun Hamoud brought the project to Jerusalem's "Pitch Point" in 2015, where it won two prizes: the Turkish YAPIMLAB Award and the IFP Award. The film was funded by Israel Film Fund. [14] [15] [16]
On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 98% based on 54 reviews, with an average rating of 7.6/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "In Between takes a light yet nuanced approach to dramatizing complex, timely themes, further enriched by outstanding cinematography and powerful performances." [17] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 79 out of 100 from 17 critics. [18]
The film depicted women drinking, smoking and partying, causing outrage in the Muslim community of Israel. [8] The film was declared haram by the mayor of Umm al-Fahm, the conservative Arab home town of the character Nour. [8] A fatwa was issued against the director, Maysaloun Hamoud, who is a Palestinian born in Hungary but now resident in Jaffa. [19]
The film is rated R16 in New Zealand for violence, sexual violence, drug use and offensive language.[ citation needed]
The film had its world premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival [20] where a jury awarded it the NETPAC Award for World or International Asian Film Premiere. [21]
At the 2016 San Sebastian Film Festival, the film won three awards: the Premio EROSKI de la juventud (Eroski Youth Award), the Premio TVE - Otra Mirada (TVE Another Look Award), and the Premio Sebastiane. [22] [23]
At the 2016 Haifa International Film Festival, In Between won the Danny Lerner Award for a Debut Feature Film; additionally, its three principal cast members (Hawa, Jammelieh, and Kanboura) won the Fedeora Award for Artistic Achievement in an Israeli Feature Film. [24]
At the 2017 Ophir Awards, the film had 12 nominations [25] and won for both Best Actress (Shaden Kanboura) and Best Supporting Actress (Mouna Hawa). [26]
