Tale of The Three Jewels

A moving tribute to the children of Gaza, TALE OF THE THREE JEWELS tells the story of Yussef, a child of the First Intifada, who embarks upon a perilous adventure after meeting the mysterious Aida. Mixing magic and folk tale with a clear-eyed perspective upon the injustices faced by Gaza’s oppressed communities, Michel Khleifi’s film is testament to the resilience and the horrors endured by Gaza’s children.

The film will be introduced by Palestinian/Scottish poet Nada Shawa, and followed by a discussion led by Rita Mahfouz, filmmaker and visual artist, and Nehad Khader, film programmer and co-collaborative creator at Falastin Film Festival and Black Star Film Festival Director.
