* gay palestinian movie *
Out In The Dark follows the gay romance between a Paltian and an Israeli.
Mayer, who moved om his native Haifa to study film at the Universy of Southern California, tells me he was spired to make Out In The Dark after a iend told him about a centre Tel Aviv which offered support to gay Paltians. It’s one of those suatns where everyone will have an opn, but if spir people to view this nflict a slightly different light, or to fd out more about groups that are active on gay rights, then I will be very happy.

"In Israel, the Jewish gay people are all sayg, 'If you're not fortable here, go to everybody else the Arab world.
