The Match Factory Boards Palestinian Family Saga ‘All That’s Left of You’ From ‘Amreeka,’ ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Director Cherien Dabis
variety.comBen Croll The Match Factory will handle international sales for director Cherien Dabis’ decades spanning family saga “All That’s Left of You.” Currently in post-production and by all accounts among the most anticipated projects presented at this year’s Atlas Workshops, the film follows three generations of a Palestinian family, tracking cycles of trauma beginning with the 1948 displacement from Jaffa and continuing through occupation, violence and present day heartbreak in the West Bank.
An acclaimed filmmaker and actor, Dabis stars as well, anchoring the film as a devastated mother to a teenaged son injured by an Israeli soldier.
As her son’s life hangs in the balance, the grief-struck woman tries to make sense of her family and people’s heritage. Actors – and brothers – Saleh Bakri (“The Blue Caftan”) and Adam Bakri (“Omar”) co-star alongside father Mohammad Bakri (“Boy From Heaven,” “Homeland”), making the project a truly intergenerational portrait.
Produced by Pallas Film, Twenty Twenty Vision and AMP Filmworks, “All That’s Left of You” has remained a subject of industry attention ever since the production had to evacuate its planned Jaffa shoot once the war broke out in Gaza.
