The screening will include a pre-recorded introduction and be followed by a Q&A.

When Palestinian Rami discovers his Israeli girlfriend Shirley is pregnant, he panics, fearing the implications of raising a child in an environment in which they can’t even be seen together in public. Palestinian director Scandar Copti’s powerful drama, filmed with non-professional actors, captures the raw humour, heartbreak, as well as the religious, political and social tensions in a mixed Arab-Jewish community in Haifa.

All donations from this year’s festival will go to Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), providing humanitarian assistance as well as health and social services to Palestinians whenever and wherever needed. You can donate here.
