It also underscores the vital role of art and cinema in documenting Palestinian history and conveying the Palestinian people’s suffering and their struggle for freedom and independence.
Directed by Palestinian filmmaker Annemarie Jacir, Palestine 36 explores a pivotal era in Palestinian history, shedding light on the events of 1936 and the transformations and confrontations that characterized that period under the British Mandate.
The Union’s participation reaffirms its dedication to engaging with cultural and artistic events that highlight Palestinian identity, preserve national memory, and strengthen cultural ties between the Palestinian and Egyptian peoples.
