A popular Jury Prize and International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) Prize winner at the Cannes Film Festival 2002, Divine Intervention uses the most subversive weapon of all - humor - to portray the mood of the escalating Middle East conflict. Filled with witty visual gags and a bravura style, the film, subtitled A Chronicle of Love and Pain, features Palestinian writer / director Suleiman in its central role.

Suleiman was born in Nazareth in 1960, lived in New York City between 1981 and 1993 and returned home in 1994 when the European Commission granted him the opportunity to develop a Film and Media Department at Bir Zeit University.
