FILM SCREENING: PALESTINE 36 - WHM

The fourth feature of acclaimed Palestinian filmmaker Annemarie Jacir is an epic multi-character drama revolving around the oft-forgotten 1936 Arab revolt in Palestine – the first major sustained uprising by Palestinian against the British colonial rule. With a starry pan-Arab cast featuring Hiam Abbass, Dhafer L'Abidine, Saleh Bakri, Yasmine Al Massri, alongside Oscar-winner Jermey Irons, “Palestine ‘36” is a gripping panorama of a people and nation fighting to survival; a detailed historical chronicle of how the land was lost; a rich study of the morality of resistance.
