Film critic B. Ruby
Rich interviews Palestinian director
B. Ruby Rich, assistant professor of community studies, attended
the Toronto International Film Festival in September. In October,
she held a conversation with Palestinian filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad
on stage at the Clay Theatre in San Francisco. His film, Paradise
Now, seeks to increase understanding of the mindsets of
Palestinian suicide bombers. It is being released by Warners
Independent, which Rich said shows a "new mainstreaming
of this kind of material."
