Maysaloun Hamoud's 'In Between' Premieres in Italian Theaters
Maysaloun Hamoud's debut feature film 'Libere, disobbedienti e innamorate' (In Between) is released in Italian cinemas on April 6, 2017. The film follows three young Arab women—Nour, Laila, and Salma—living in Tel Aviv, navigating between tradition and modernity. Nour is an engineering student engaged to a conservative man; Laila is a confident lawyer; Salma is a closeted lesbian working as a DJ and bartender. The film explores themes of freedom, identity, and rebellion against patriarchal norms. Hamoud describes it as a portrait of the dualism between tradition and metropolitan chaos. The soundtrack features hip hop from Palestinian band DAM and a track by Lebanese singer Yasmine Hamdan, who is also known for her work with Jim Jarmusch. The film is distributed in Italy by Tucker Film.
