Palestine 36 at the Cineville Preview Days
After Annemarie Jacir’s historical drama Palestine 36 was showered with applause at the Toronto film festival, it swiftly became a crowd favourite at its Dutch IFFR premiere. And rightly so! This is a film that hits deep down in your core: a reminder of a piece of history that’s been left in the dark for far too long. By weaving different stories together, Jacir creates a beautiful and moving portrait of resilience, hope, and humanity.
See it at the Preview Days almost two months ahead of its scheduled release.
