PALESTINE 36 (12A)

Come and join us for this impressive film….

Palestine 36 had its premier at the Toronto International Film Festival where it received a 20 minute standing ovation. It went on to win Best Film at the Tokyo International Film Festival in November 2025.  It has since been widely acclaimed worldwide.

The Director, Annemarie Jacir, said in an interview that while years have passed since the executions, widespread detentions and demolished villages under Britain’s 30-year rule, she argues that history is alive: “A lot of people don’t even know, surprisingly, that the British were even in Palestine. This film is for Palestinians. It’s our story that hasn’t been told.”

The film is set in 1936 and deals with the Palestinian uprising that took on the British Empire.  With increasing numbers of Jewish immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe, and the Palestinian population uniting in the longest and largest uprising against Britain’s 30-year domination, all sides spiral towards inevitable collision in a decisive moment for the Empire and the future of the entire region.
