To kick off the evening, Palestinian musicians Yasmina Mansour and Sarraj Alsersawi will perform traditional Palestinian music on the Qanoun and Oud. This will be followed by a recitation of Mahmoud Darwish’s poetry by Irish/Iraqi poet Ali Taki.
Elia Suleiman’s internationally acclaimed film "Divine Intervention" will be screened to close the evening. Released in 2002, this film is known for its unique blend of dark humour, surrealism, and social commentary and explores the daily challenges and absurdities faced by Palestinians living under occupation. It has been recognized as a groundbreaking piece of contemporary Palestinian cinema.
