Written and directed by Kim Nguyen, The Hummingbird Project, which stars Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland), Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood) and Salma Hayek (Frida), is a thriller that follows two guys with a singular dream to build a fibre-optic cable between New Jersey and Kansas, which would be a millisecond faster than the competition, which would in turn make them into millionaires. Their ruthless and uber-powerful ex-boss Eva (Hayek) however, is doing her damnedest to slide between them and beat them. It’s a story of a strong and vicious need for financial gain, but also a story of finding a true self and reconnecting with things that truly matter.
The major issue that stood out to me here...

Continuing to chart his own path in a Palestinian film landscape generally perceived as monolithic, Elia Suleiman turns his delightfully absurdist, unfailingly generous gaze beyond the physical homeland, where parallels and dissonance abound. By now Suleiman’s distinctive style is not just well-known but eagerly anticipated, his wide-eyed, expressive face forever compared with Buster Keaton as he looks out at a world full of small wonders and incongruities. It’s been a decade since the writer-director-star’s last feature, and while “It Must Be Heaven” has all his hallmarks, the vision shifts from the struggle in Palestine to the condition of the global Palestinian. Whimsical and wistful yet infused with a yearning for the stability of place, “Heaven” will have gates opened throughout the European indie circuit and potentially further afield.
Suleiman’s previous three features saw him as witness to the surreal in Palestinian life, always linked to individuals...
