Saleh Bakri (The Blue Caftan<\/em>) stars as a Palestinian school teacher, struggling to reconcile his life-threatening commitment to political resistance with his emotional support for one of his students and the chance of a new romantic relationship with a British volunteer worker, played by Imogen Poots ((The Father<\/em>, I Know This Much Is True<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The film was shot entirely in the West Bank in the city of Nablus.<\/p>\n

Front Row noted it had long championed Palestinian cinema, having recently distributed another TIFF selection A Gaza Weekend<\/em> and curated the 2021 Made in Palestine <\/em>collection for Netflix.<\/p>\n

“We’re delighted to be working once again with Farah, Osama and Sawsan. The audience reaction to the screening was a triumph, led by a terrific performance by Saleh Bakri, who now cements himself as one of the best contemporary Arab actors”, said Front Row CEO Gianluca Chakra.<\/p>\n

“Exploring and embracing Palestinian cinema offers us all a unique opportunity to foster to foster authenticity, access and understanding. Through the lens of films such as this one, we can gain valuable insights into the experiences, struggles, and aspirations of the Palestinian people, ultimately promoting representation, dialogue and a more inclusive world.”<\/p>\n

Producer Asfari said of the new collaboration: “Front Row share our vision of bringing to life and making accessible to the wider audience the voices of those not heard, and the stories of those not seen.”<\/p>\n

Front Row will release The Teacher<\/em> in early 2024.<\/p>\n
