Siri Miri is a Palestinian short film set in the occupied West Bank that satirically captures the life of Palestinian youth living in a technological age and no-so-helpful AI assistants. Sick of their routine-run life spent coffee-sipping in smoke-filled coffeehouses, two teenagers turn to the help of Siri to no avail.
