After receiving an Oscar nomination for her short film, THE PRESENT, Palestinian British filmmaker Farah Nabulsi set out to take audiences on an intense, emotional journey into the Israeli occupied West Bank.
Based on real life experiences of relatives, the story lifts the curtain on the hardships and difficult choices they have to make. Starring the Palestinian actor Saleh Bakri in a moving performance, the film follows the character of Basem, a teacher with a buried personal tragedy. Throwing himself into his work, he forms a deep bond with his student, Adam.
Shot entirely in Palestine, told with humanity and empathy, Nabulsi brings these threads together, leaving us with a sense of hope and compassion for a future, even as the present reality seems to offer none. THE TEACHER premiered at The Toronto Film Festival, received Best International Feature Award at Galway, Audience award at San Francisco International Film Festival, among many others; the film has received over a dozen awards!
Join us and our conversation with filmmaker Farah Nabulsi on her journey to make THE TEACHER on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now.
