The largest festival of its kind in Europe; with a selection of vital documentary, fiction, art, and animation work by, about and from Palestinians and their country.
Opening with Elia Suleiman’s latest feature The Time That Remains, this year’s festival highlights include the first Palestinian animation, the UK premieres of Eyal Sivan’s groundbreaking documentary Jaffa: The Orange’s Clockwork and Kamal Aljafari’s astonishing Port of Memory. Special thematic sessions highlight new video art, profile iconoclastic Palestinian women now and in history, examine the aftermath of last year’s war on the Gaza Strip, and bring together rarely screened work from Palestine, Japan, Lebanon, and Vietnam. Complemented by a photo exhibition by Palestinian artists Noel Jabbour and Taysir Batniji in the Barbican Foyer. |
