In commemoration of the Nakba, we're highlighting five films, and five upcoming events to attend. Each film takes a different route into charting the experience of Palestinian displacement. They are ruminations on home, place, and diaspora, bearing witness to 78 years of the Nakba and the subsequent atrocities of the Israeli apartheid state.

Today echoes the continued call for justice, self-determination, and right-to-return for all Palestinian people. Head to the link in our bio to watch the films.

🌾 Two stories of rural life through different lenses: 'Minari' + 'Their Accounts'

📍 Skye Bridge Studios, Kyle of Lochalsh

Minari (2020) follows a Korean-American family pursuing their dreams on a small Arkansas farm - a beautiful meditation on home, family, and what we plant for the future.

Paired with 'Their Accounts' (Hannah Hunter, 2024), a locally-rooted short blending archive and animation to capture Ardnamurchan's story through its young voices.

Stay for a conversation with filmmaker Hannah Hunter after the screening, hosted by Arlo from Eden Court Theatre and Cinema Youth Board.
