Biography
Elia Suleiman (Arabic: ุฅูููุง ุณููู ุงู, IPA: [หสiหlja sสleหหmaหn]; born 28 July 1960; Nazareth) is a Palestinian film director and actor. He is best known for the 2002 film Divine Intervention (Arabic: ูุฏ ุฅูููุฉ), a modern tragicomedy on living under occupation in Palestine which won the Jury Prize at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. Suleiman's cinematic style is often compared to that of Jacques Tati and Buster Keaton, for its poetic interplay between "burlesque and sobriety".
