PALESTINE 36
Director: Annemarie Jacir
Year: 2025

Synopsis: 1936. As villages across Mandate Palestine rise against British rule, Yusuf drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest.

UPCOMING SELECTS SCREENING
ELEANOR THE GREAT
Director: Scarlett Johannson
Year: 2025
Country: USA
Language: English
Running Time: 98 Minutes
Synopsis: 94-year old Eleanor Morgenstein (Oscar nominee June Squibb, last seen in THELMA, HIFF Spring Showcase 2024) moves to New York City for a fresh start, after the loss of her best friend and roommate in a Florida retirement community. Making new friends in her nineties proves difficult. Longing for connection, she befriends a 19-year-old student; a blossoming friendship initiated by a “white lie” that eventually snowballs to a potential point of no return. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut is a tender, bitingly humorous, and uplifting portrait of aging, identity, and chosen family, anchored by a standout central performance by Squibb.
