Palestine 36

Annemarie Jacir’s sweeping historical drama takes us back to Palestine under the British Mandate in 1936 – a turning point in the country’s history.

1936 was a year marked by rebellion, political awakening, and the struggle for self-determination. At the heart of the film is a Palestinian family trying to navigate the rising tensions in the country. This is not the story of a single individual – we follow an ensemble of characters, each witnessing the cost of colonial rule. Their paths intersect, and the film beautifully weaves together the personal stories with the broader historical and political upheavals. This is a grand, richly detailed film – an ambitious work that brings a pivotal chapter in the country’s history to life.
