Merton PSC presents: The Teacher and Q&A with Director Farah Nabulsi

Merton Palestine Solidarity Campaign are proud to present a special screening of The Teacher. This film by Academy Award®-nominated and BAFTA®-winning Palestinian-British filmmaker Farah Nabulsi is set and shot in militarily occupied and colonised Palestine. The film stars renowned Palestinian actor Saleh Bakri and British actress Imogen Poots and has won over 15 International Film Festival Awards.

The Teacher tells the story of a Palestinian school teacher who struggles to reconcile his risky commitment to political resistance with his emotional support for one of his students and the chance of a new relationship with a volunteer worker.

Following the screening, we are pleased to host a Q&A with award-winning director Farah Nabulsi. Farah Nabulsi began working in the film industry in 2016 as a writer and producer of fiction films. Her first short film, ‘Today They Took My Son’, was endorsed by British director Ken Loach and screened at the United Nations.

By watching The Teacher, you are supporting Palestinian cinema, reclaiming the hijacked narrative, and amplifying voices that have been silenced for too long. Spread the word to everyone you know!
