Palestine 362025

Palestine, 1936. As the dogs of war strain at the leash in Europe, preparations are made for the Great Arab Revolt, with the aim of bringing about an independent state. Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in 1918, France and the United Kingdom divided up the region, establishing the British Mandate of Palestine. In the mid-1930s, tensions over land, immigration and colonial power intensified. In April 1936, a general strike shook cities and rural areas. In her new film, Annemarie Jacir, winner of the Festival Prize in 2019, addresses the history of her country.
