\n\tEXCLUSIVE:<\/strong> Mark Ruffalo<\/a>, Diego Luna<\/a>, Susan Sarandon<\/a>, Riz Ahmed<\/a>, Ava Duvernay<\/a>, Mira Nair<\/a>, Julie Delpy<\/a>, and Ramy Youssef<\/a> are among a raft of stars lending their support to a conversations season taking inspiration from and in support of Annemarie Jacir\u2019s Palestine<\/a> 36.<\/p>\n

\n\tEntitled \u2018Talking Palestine 36<\/a>\u2019, the conversations are a joint initiative between Philistine Films, Jacir\u2019s company with Ossama Bawardi, and the film\u2019s U.S. distributors Watermelon Pictures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe feature, which is Palestine\u2019s official submission to the 98th Academy Awards, explores the rarely explored story of the 1936-39 Arab Revolt in which Palestinians rose up against Britain\u2019s colonial rule.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe created this series to open space for deeper, nuanced conversation about Palestine and its history,\u201d said Bawardi. \u201cPalestine 36\u00a0is not just a film \u2013 it is a cultural moment. These talks aim to broaden that moment into a sustained dialogue.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u2018Talking Palestine 36\u2019 series will roll out across multiple cities and online to ensure global accessibility. It will run throughout the film\u2019s global theatrical release, with additional guests and event dates to be announced<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series will feature conversations, panels, and special appearances by Jacir alongside artists known for their commitment to human rights and social equity.<\/p>\n

\n\tEach instalment in the series will spotlight a different facet of the film from creative expression under constraint to the global role of cinema in documenting the lived experience of Palestinians, at the same time as examining the roots of Palestinian resistance against occupation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPalestine 36\u00a0stars Saleh Bakri, Hiam Abbass, Jeremy Irons, Yasmine Al Massri, Liam Cunningham, Karim Daoud Anaya, Yafa Bakri, Billy Howle, Robert Aramayo and rising names from across Palestine and the diaspora.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tPalestine 36 world premiered in September and has since won the Grand Prix at\u00a0the Tokyo International Film Festival, the Audience Award at the S\u00e3o Paulo International Film Festival and the Arab Film Festival in San Francisco, as well as the Special Jury Prize at the Asian World Film Festival.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film made its official MENA premier at Saudi Arabia\u2019s Red Sea Film Festival<\/a> on Monday evening. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Mark Ruffalo, Diego Luna, Susan Sarandon, Riz Ahmed, Ava Duvernay, Mira Nair, Julie Delpy, and Ramy Youssef…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[37786,434,108409,18,117,19,17,120056,9921,120057,72,112326,120058,118022,26283,120059,105962],"class_list":{"0":"post-222924","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ava-duvernay","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-diego-luna","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-ireland","15":"tag-julie-delpy","16":"tag-mark-ruffalo","17":"tag-mira-nair","18":"tag-palestine","19":"tag-palestine-36","20":"tag-ramy-youssef","21":"tag-red-sea-film-festival","22":"tag-riz-ahmed","23":"tag-susan-sarandon","24":"tag-watermelon-pictures"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115687282020871877","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
