TIFF is Serving Looks and Palestinian Films 🔥🎬🇵🇸

The Deets

Okay, so TIFF is hitting a major milestone – it's the big 5-0 this year! 🥳 They're throwing down with a ton of films, like almost 300. But here's the tea ☕: they're showing a few flicks about Palestine, and things are about to get a little spicy 🌶️.

Like, peep these titles:

• Palestine 36: This one's set in Jerusalem back in the day (1936, duh 🙄), and it's giving major drama with people living under British rule. Word is, it's Palestine's pick for the Oscars!
• With Hasan in Gaza: A doc about tryna find someone in Gaza.
• Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk: This shows what happens when you're tryna live in Gaza when it's getting attacked.
• The Voice of Hind Rajab: Get ready for the feels 😭. This is based on the true story of a six-year-old who... well, let's just say it's heartbreaking. It's Tunisia's entry for the Oscars, so you know it's gonna be intense.
• It's So Beautiful Here: A short film of a horse chilling on a farm in Gaza.

But wait, there's more ☕☕☕! There was some drama 'cause TIFF was gonna skip a doc about the October 7th attacks, but they flipped and decided to show it after all. Then, word on the street 🗣️ is there's gonna be mad protests, especially at the premiere of "Palestine 36." TIFF's got security on lock, tho, so hopefully, it won't be too chaotic.

Oh, and BTW, Prime Minister Mark Carney shaded Trump at the start. He also gave a shoutout to the legend John Candy. And keep your eyes peeled 👀, 'cause celebs like Angelina Jolie and Keanu Reeves might be showing face! The whole thing wraps up on September 14th, so stay tuned, fam!
