Reviews
Rotten Tomatoes: 94% Possibly the sexiest movie of the year and certainly one of the best.
Metacritic: Park’s tale of a married detective torn between infidelity and moral duty keeps the viewer off-balance at every turn.

A PRIVATE FUNCTION:
Dir. Malcolm Mowbray/1 hr 32 mins/Cert. 15/1984
Cultural expression provides the foundation stone for the endurance of a Palestinian identity, enabling it to remain strong despite 75 years of expulsion, occupation, and destruction.
The closing event of our tenth anniversary programme is less a celebration, more a testament to the powerful and enduring voices of Palestinian film-makers, musicians and artists.
In these darkest of times for Palestinians, art and culture remain uplifting rays of light. They are sources of inspiration, restoration and determination. They defy the destruction of a people.
Foragers is a chase film depicting the Israeli Nature Patrol pursuing elderly Palestinians who gather plants classified as protected species, particularly the artichoke-like tumble thistle, 'akkoub, also known as "green gold" and Zaatar. In this documentary infused with fiction, Jumana Manna follows the lives of these elders as they practice the once-accepted cultural tradition of foraging.
This event will also feature a recorded interview with film-maker Jumana Manna.
