Selected as Palestine’s Official Submission to the 98th Academy Awards and an Official Selection of the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, Palestine '36 is a sweeping historical drama set during a pivotal moment in Palestinian history, offering a powerful, human-centered portrait of resistance, displacement, and moral reckoning.
In 1936, as the British Empire tightens its grip on Palestine, Yusuf is caught between his village home and his work in Jerusalem. Amidst an anti-colonial revolt, and Jewish refugees fleeing persecution from Europe, all sides converge in a decisive moment for the entire region.
