Attend this film fest: Boston Palestine Film Festival @ the MFA

Far from provoking more intolerance and rage, the Boston Palestine Film Festival, now in its fifth year, has provided a sagacious cinematic point of view on the Middle East's intractable conflict. It does so with films like The Time That Remains (2009; 6:30 pm), a bittersweet chronicle of six decades in the lives of an Israeli-Palestinian family enduring the travails of history. Director Elia Suleiman, the festival's featured filmmaker, will attend the screening.
