Source-derived summary

Just Another Day is a short film by the Palestinian visual artist and filmmaker Hisham Zreiq (Zrake). The film deals with post 9/11 status of Arabs in the Western world, via the story of a young Arab man that lives in Europe after the September 11 terror attacks. The story is told in a day when his city is struck by another terror attack, in a sad chapter of his life, because he is suffering after the woman he loves left him – precisely because he is an Arab.

The film is full of symbols, and a surrealistic atmosphere resembling Hisham Zreiq's art.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Just Another Day (film)” as 2008 film by Hisham Zreiq. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Just, Another and film.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current 103-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2008-01-01. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Just, Another and film providing the first useful test.
