What 2005 short film features a fictional Palestinian restaurant called Hummus Hut?

The 2005 short film featuring the fictional Palestinian restaurant Hummus Hut is West Bank Story.

Directed by Ari Sandel, West Bank Story is an American musical comedy short that turns the structure of West Side Story into a satirical story about Israeli-Palestinian tensions. Its two rival fictional falafel restaurants are the Israeli Kosher King and the Palestinian Hummus Hut.

The plot centers on Fatima, who works at Hummus Hut, and David, an Israeli soldier. Their romance develops while their families and communities compete, parodying the feuding groups and forbidden love of the earlier musical. The film was filmed on a ranch in Santa Clarita, California, despite its West Bank setting.

The title is sometimes confused with documentaries or dramatic features about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including Paradise Now and The Syrian Bride. West Bank Story is specifically a short musical comedy and a parody of the 1961 film West Side Story, which itself draws on Romeo and Juliet.
