How would we look back at 1936 after over two years of genocide?
The film
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. Palestine's Official Selection for the 98th Academy Awards.
Palestine 36 world premiered in September and has since won the Grand Prix at the Tokyo International Film Festival, the Audience Award at the São Paulo International Film Festival and the Arab Film Festival in San Francisco, as well as the Special Jury Prize at the Asian World Film Festival.
“It’s a vehement reminder of what doesn’t get taught in British schools” (The Guardian).
