The Middle Geeks Episode 78: Interview with ‘Palestine 36’ Director Annemarie Jacir

We interview acclaimed Palestinian director Annemarie Jacir on her latest film, Palestine 36, which debuts in US theaters this weekend.

Annemarie Jacir is a legend in Palestinian cinema. From acclaimed works like Salt of the Sea, Wajib, and more, her latest work, Palestine 36, is an epic tale of resistance that reverberates strongly today. Starring Hiam Abbass, Yasmine Al Massri, Saleh Bakri, Jeremy Irons, Robert Aramayo, Liam Cunningham, Karim Daoud Anaya, and others, it comes out in US theaters this weekend, and we were ecstatic to have Annemarie on the podcast to discuss the film, her career, the increasing consciousness of Palestine in the US, and much more.
