A pioneering voice in Arab cinema, Annemarie Jacir has written, directed, and produced over sixteen films, with premieres at Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Locarno, Rotterdam, and Toronto. In 2007, she made history by shooting the first feature film by a Palestinian female director. All four of her feature films have been chosen as Palestine’s Oscar submissions.

Set in 1936 during the Arab Revolt in British-ruled Palestine, Palestine 36 chronicles the intertwined lives of farmers, revolutionaries, and business owners resisting colonial rule. It’s a stirring portrait of resilience, featuring a stellar cast including Hiam Abbass, Jeremy Irons, and Saleh Bakri.

In this episode, Annemarie shares the ten-year journey behind the making of Palestine 36, the challenges of filming on location under threat, and the vital role Palestinian cinema plays in preserving histories too often left untold.

Palestine 36 wil be released nationwide in Cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 31st October.
