The personal and the political collide unexpectedly in this thought-provoking short by Norwegian writer and director Mattis Ohana Goksøyr. “Safiyyah” tells the story of a Danish-Palestinian boy whose casual fling with a girl he meets at an Oslo nightclub comes to an abrupt halt when he leans that she is Jewish. Rather than weighing in on who is right or wrong, the film raises the issue of cultural inheritance and how it can affect those living far away from the conflict itself.
