Here are some key highlights of the 2022 festival that you won’t want to miss:
- Beginning at 6pm ET on Friday, October 14 you’ll be able to start streaming films from Eventive. Be sure to remember that once you begin viewing a film virtually, you have 48 hours to complete your screening.
- The festival opens with Farha, the directorial feature debut film from Jordanian director Darin J. Sallam. This award-winning film is based on a true story that happened at the onset of the Palestinian Nakba in 1948.
- The closing film is The Stranger, also a directorial debut by the Syrian filmmaker Ameer Fakher Eldin. Set in the Golan Heights, the film was selected as Palestine’s entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards.
- The festival includes 4 U.S. Premieres and 1 World Premiere.
- Following the film screenings at Emerson College, there will be a live Q&A with the director and producer of Salma’s Home and the director of Hush.
All virtual films will be available for streaming the entirety of the festival, October 14 – 23. Purchase a ticket, three-film pass, or all-access pass to unlock content to view from the comfort and safety of your own home.
Our closing screening will be held in person at the Coolidge Corner Theatre followed by a post-screening gathering at Hops n Scotch.
