In this highly anticipated debut from Laila Abbas, selected for the BFI London Film Festival 2024, two sisters have to put their differences aside to claim their inheritance when their father dies. The embattled pair have to work together against the patriarchal laws that might prevent them from receiving their inheritance. This stunning dark comedy has recently received well-deserved awards, including Best Arab Film at El Gouna Film Festival, and Best Director at Thessaloniki Film Festival.
This screening includes a Zoom Q&A with Laila Abbas.
Laila Abbas is a Palestinian filmmaker, producer and academic who in 2013 made a splash with her documentary Ice & Dust about a young Palestinian woman who crosses the Atlantic ocean to search for a better life in Canada. In 2019, she was selected for Berlin Film Festival’s Berlinale Talents programme to nurture emerging filmmakers. She has recently completed production on her highly-anticipated debut feature Thank You For Banking With Us!, selected for the BFI London Film Festival 2024.
