Palestine/UK/Qatar, 2023, Farah Nabulsi, 115 mins

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with director, Farah Nabulsi.

From the BAFTA-winning, Oscar-nominated director, Farah Nabulsi, comes her long awaited first feature film. Revered actor of Palestinian cinema, Saleh Bakri, plays the eponymous school teacher trying to protect his students from a life stifled under Israeli occupation. As he reconciles his own risky commitment to political resistance, his struggle is challenged further as he attempts to show emotional support to his student, Adam. This tense existence is shifted further with the chance of romance with a volunteer worker, Lisa, played by Imogen Poots.
