PALESTINE 36

April 3 – 8, 2026
Palestine 36
In 1936, as the British Empire tightens its grip on Palestine, Yusuf is caught between his village home and his work in Jerusalem. Amidst an anti-colonial revolt, and Jewish refugees fleeing persecution from Europe, all sides converge in a decisive moment for the entire region.
Dir. Annemarie Jacir / 2025 / Arabic with English Subtitles / 118 min

“It’s a humanist film at its heart, remaining deeply rooted in the lives of its characters, their relationships with their community, their love for their people, and their enduring connection to their ancestral land.” – Marya E. Gates, RogerEbert.com

“This is a story of national identity and resistance with contemporary resonance, but it’s also a classic genre movie, its historical tapestry populated by a strong ensemble of screen stars as well as impressive newcomers.” – Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

“An affecting denouement, which gestures towards seemingly unbreakable chains of intergenerational violence, shakes off any remaining comforting period drama gloss to speak directly, arrestingly, to today.” – Rachel Pronger, Sight & Sound
