Film-maker Farah Nabulsi says:

“Although I was born, raised, and educated in the UK, in London, my blood, my heritage is very much Palestinian... I wanted to get specific and tell a personal story about someone living that reality, and explore the real-life conditions, experiences, and human emotions that drive a person to make certain choices and take certain actions... My intention with THE TEACHER is to take audiences on an intense, emotional journey into those lives and experiences...”

Farha is a dramatised historical account of a 14-year-old Palestinian girl who lives through the 1948 Nakba (catastrophe) that led to the displacement of 750,000 Palestinian citizens and deaths of 15,000 more.

The film centres on Farha’s experiences when she is locked in a storage room by her father, as Israeli soldiers attack her village. It is a powerful and provocative coming-of-age journey of a young girl whose innocence is destroyed by the violence she witnesses

THUS LOVE is a band—but also so much more. The Brattleboro, Vermont group stands together, a bond cemented by their experience as outsiders looking in. For THUS LOVE, DIY is an ethos that reflects not only their musical vision but their very existence as trans/queer artists. From the beginning, the band have lived together under the same roof, designed and produced their own merch, and even created their own recording studio from scratch.

‘We heard ya missed us, we’re back!’

Australia’s SRB return to the UK and Europe mere months after their sold out debut tour. Fresh off of the release of their critically, and more importantly, fan-ally acclaimed new album ‘D.I.Y’, the band have wasted no time in getting back to the UK/ EU for a whirlwind 12 date Rock ‘n’ Roll party. Tickets to their debut shows sold out in days back in May and this time round looks to be no different, so get yours while they’re there to be got!
