First Trailer for 'Palestine 36' Film w/ Jeremy Irons & Liam Cunningham

"We are asking for your help in protecting our villages." Screen International has revealed the first official trailer for an acclaimed new film titled Palestine 36, made by Palestinian filmmaker Annemarie Jacir as her fourth feature film so far. This recently premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival last month, and it next plays at AFI Fest and the Denver Film Festival. It's also Palestine's submission to the Oscars this year. The film is set during the years 1936 - 1939 and follows a man navigating between Jerusalem and his rural home amid escalating unrest with the British Empire rulers at the time. This is just before the Holocaust and the British Mandate in 1947 & 1948 that would lead to the creation of the State of Israel after 1945. Back in 1936, as Palestinian villages revolt against British colonial rule, Yusuf navigates between Jerusalem and his rural home, amidst escalating unrest and a pivotal moment for the British Empire. The fascinating film stars Hiam Abbass, Saleh Bakri, Robert Aramayo, Billy Howle, Liam Cunningham, Yasmine Al-Massri, Dafer L'Abidine, Yumna Marwan, Karim Daoud Anaya, and Jeremy Irons. This looks like a riveting story digging into the past and shedding light on the truth on the great awfulness of imperialism. // Continue Reading ›
