Emile Habibi: I Stayed in Haifa
1997 · 62 min · Documentary
A portrait of a Palestinian-Israeli author – prominent in modern Arabic literature – during the last weeks of his life. Habibi, a resident of Nazareth, was an MP for the Israel Communist Party for nineteen years and an Israel Prize for Literature laureate. This travelogue confronts Habibi at significant places in his life: Haifa, Jerusalem and Acre (important for his homecoming after 1948). The title echoes the memorial words on his tombstone in Haifa.
