The Paris-based Suleiman, whose most recent work “It Must Be Heaven” premiered in 2019 at Cannes, is the first Palestinian director to win this prestigious prize.
Born in Nazareth, Suleiman started his career in New York where in the early 1990s he shot two short films, “Introduction to the End of an Argument” and “Homage by Assassination” which won several prizes. All of Suleiman’s works, in which he also stars, provide a personal prism on the sad and surreal aspects of Palestinian life in which humor is crucial to survival.
