Timeline

1920

Filmed in Germany, the film is the story of a lesbian love affair between two women in 1920s Palestine.

1975

Samira Saraya (born December 15, 1975) is an Israeli Palestinian film, television and theater actor, filmmaker, poet, rapper and spoken word artist.

Saraya was born in Haifa, to Nimr and Subahiya Saraya.

1997

But it was only in 1997, in her early twenties, that she got her first real taste of acting, when she participated in an acting workshop in a community center in Lod.

The following year, Saraya moved to Tel Aviv and got involved in the fringe performance scene, through which she started performing in various styles, including drag.

It was in this context that she discovered her ability to rap and worked the genre into her performances.

During this period, she had not yet developed performing into a career, and made her living as a nurse.

2003

She began performing at parties and events of the radical queer community in 2003.

2008

In 2008, Saraya made her first film appearance, in the short Gevald.

2011

She is the 11th of their 13 children.

At age 19, Saraya moved to Jerusalem to study nursing at the Hebrew University.

She began her nursing career at Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv in the oncology-hematology ward.

After working in several different positions at the hospital, including training positions, she began teaching at the Sheinbein nursing college, and managed a private immunotherapy clinic.

Saraya displayed talent and passion for acting from a young age, when she would "put on shows" for her family.

But her real breakthrough arrived in 2011, when she got one of the leading roles in the television series Minimum Wage.

She played Amal, one of three work-weary cleaning women.

2012

The show was a success, and won Israeli Academy of Film and Television awards for Best Drama and Best Directing in 2012, success that continued into the second season, which aired in 2014.

Her first major stage role was in the play The Silwan Peacock (2012), in which she plays a young Arab woman who is forced to navigate among the conflicting interests of the state, illegal settlers, and the local Arab population regarding a site that becomes an archaeological dig.

2014

Saraya starred in Shira Geffen's 2014 film Self Made as Nadine, alongside Sarah Adler.

The film provides a mirror-image of a Jewish Israeli woman and a Palestinian woman from the occupied territories, who gradually switch places.

Saraya traveled with the film to international film festivals, including Cannes International Film Festival, and the India Women's Film Festival.

2015

In 2015, Saraya was offered the lead role in the feature film Samira, about a Palestinian woman in her early forties, who is recruited to carry out a suicide bombing in Israel, but changes her mind at the last moment.

Saraya turned down the role and refused to cooperate in any way in the making of the film, because she felt it was anti-Arab and Islamophobic.

Saraya later published an opinion piece in the online magazine Ha-Makom about her objections to the film.

In June 2015, Saraya won the best screenplay award at the Tel Aviv LGBT film festival, TLVFest.

Her performance in Dana Goldberg and Efrat Mishori's 2017 film, Death of a Poetess, won Saraya the Best Actress Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival.

The film tracks two simultaneous timelines, following Yasmine (Saraya), a nurse from Jaffa, and the last day in the life of Lena Sadeh (Evgenia Dodina), a world-renowned brain researcher, whose paths cross tragically.

Saraya improvised the scenes in which her character was under police interrogation, a performance for which she reaped high praise from reviewers.

She had previously won the short screenplay competition for Polygraph in the 2017 festival, receiving a grant from Gesher Foundation to produce and shoot the film.

Polygraph stars Saraya and Hadas Yaron in the lead roles.

Saraya is the first Palestinian drag king, performing under the stage name "Samimo".

In Out, a short film by Alon Sahar that premiered in the 2018 edition of Locarno Film Festival, Saraya played Rouda, a Palestinian mother whose house is invaded by IDF soldiers.

It ultimately screened there and won the first place.
