OPEN BETHLEHEM follows renowned Palestinian film-maker Leila Sansour’s extraordinary ten year journey as she captures Bethlehem as it has never been seen before. Armed with a camera and a family car that keeps breaking down, she sets out to make an intimate portrait of a historical town in peril. Drawing from over 700 hours of original footage and some rare archive material, this remarkable film shows the ‘little town’ through the eyes of one of its oldest Christian families. OPEN BETHLEHEM will be released in cinemas from 5 December 2014. The trailer is above.
