THE TEACHER | Oscar-Nominated Farah Nabulsi on Palestine, Resistance & Storytelling

🎙️ Inside the Arthouse: Farah Nabulsi on THE TEACHER

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Farah Nabulsi (THE PRESENT) joins us to discuss her powerful feature debut, THE TEACHER — a moving and urgent drama set in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Starring Saleh Bakri, the film follows a Palestinian teacher grappling with personal loss as he forms a bond with a student, all while navigating the harsh realities of occupation. Based on true family stories, THE TEACHER is a deeply human portrait of resistance, resilience, and connection.

Shot entirely in Palestine, the film premiered at Toronto International Film Festival, and has won over a dozen awards — including the Audience Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival.

We talk with Nabulsi about making an independent film under occupation, telling stories rooted in lived experience, and the power of cinema to foster empathy and awareness.

🎧 A must-listen for fans of international film, social justice storytelling, and the global arthouse scene.
