Scholarly accounts of screen media in the Palestinian Territories have traditionally focused on the means by which artists overcome tremendous financial and logistical obstacles to creatively express the histories, fears, and aspirations of Palestinian individuals and collectives. As Edward Said argues, visual storytelling plays a particularly crucial function in Palestinian society and politics, combating the "erasure" that generations of statelessness, occupation, and perpetual uncertainty have inflicted upon Palestinian identity (3).This very worthwhile approach to the nation's visual media has found expression recently in two edited volumes on the subject of Palestinian cinema as well as a variety of popular articles on media forms in the West Bank. The artist's tremendous struggle to create media in the Palestinian Territories quite naturally provides motivation for the analyst to investigate the expressive elements of the region's production.
