Wedding in Galilee
15 TBC

Sun 24 Nov · 14:00
In this Palestinian classic, the mayor of a West Bank village wants his son to adhere to Palestinian tradition in his upcoming wedding. 
Drama • Critically Acclaimed • Powerful
Part of reRUN
Part of Leeds Palestinian Film Festival

Unfortunately this custom is in conflict with the Israeli military curfew but, against expectations, the father manages to get clearance from the occupying governor. Of course there's a catch: the governor and his Israeli colleagues have to be on the guest list…..

Purportedly the first feature film made about Palestinian lives by a Palestinian filmmaker, Wedding in Galilee was a critical success which went on to win the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.

After-film discussion we will be joined by Fred Coker, founder member of the Workers’ Film Association in 1974, who has carefully kept the original reels of the film.
