Let’s watch the critically acclaimed “PALESTINE 36” (CHICAGO FILM FEST!)
Details
Please join me for this important film! Palestine 36 is a sprawling epic set in 1936, during the British Mandate for Palestine. The film's expansive plot follows multiple characters from different walks of life as they are caught in the escalating conflict of the Great Arab Revolt. The film is praised for its ambitious scale, as it tackles a complex and crucial period in history. Many reviewers note that the film is incredibly timely and provides crucial historical context for the ongoing conflict in the region. It's not just a dry history lesson; it's a film that uses a "choral" structure with many characters to give a human face to the events and show the profound impact they had on different people.
IT PREMIERED AT THE TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL.
