Os filmes da Unidade de Comunicação Social da Organização para a Libertação da Palestina tinham o objectivo de mostrar uma imagem autodeterminada da realidade palestiniana – e desapareceram durante a invasão israelita de Beirute, em 1982. Num road-movie da Palestina à Jordânia, Síria e Líbano, a realizadora Azza El-Hassan segue as pistas contraditórias e confusas sobre o paradeiro do arquivo perdido.

Director’s Note
The narrative of disposition, exile, war and many other grand narratives of loss have long dominated individual Palestinian lives. The archive of film in which Palestinians have attempted to document their daily reality and to talk about the value of grand narratives went missing, and this disappearance became yet another grand narrative of loss to be added to their list. Yet, with grand narratives many important life details are forgotten. This is what “Kings and Extras” tries to capture: The price of trying not to lose things can often be very personal and very high, so that you end up forgetting what you have lost while trying to preserve what it at the same time.
