Join us for a film screening of Farah Nabulsi's THE TEACHER, preceded by short film THE CYCLE CONTINUES + Q&A with the short's filmmaker.

THE CYCLE CONTINUES by Yasmina Albarqawi
A young Palestinian filmmaker whose work, made while studying at York University, reflects on exile and belonging. Attendees will also receive a printed piece of her writing—a glimpse of a zine she’ll publish next year.

Farah Nabulsi’s THE TEACHER, which had its world premiere at TIFF in 2023, a powerful feature that traces the moral weight carried by a Palestinian educator navigating occupation and loss. A Palestinian school teacher struggles to reconcile his risky commitment to political resistance with his emotional support for one of his students and the chance of a new relationship with a volunteer worker.

Deeply Rooted is a film series that centers the voices and lives of Palestinians, complemented by readings, panelists, and in-person discussion. Committed to offering an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, inclusive space, and invites you to come as you are. Attendees are asked to mask for these events.
