RICH MIX

Join comedian Nish Kumar for a special screening of Alaa Aliabdallah's powerful debut documentary.

Six Palestinian stand-up comedians write and tour a stand-up comedy show exploring the unlikely, often dark humour that surrounds the complexity of Palestinian identity. What starts as a blending of comic traditions to encourage honest and open reflections through the shared enjoyment of laughter becomes an existential imperative to survival and sharing common humanity.

Followed by a live discussion with cast and crew.

DOC NYC

INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE A groundbreaking comedy troupe takes the stage in Palestine, where laughter embodies survival and defiance. Following six comedians from Jenin, Hebron, Ramallah, the Golan Heights, and beyond, the film captures intimate family moments, raw rehearsals, and daring performances amid the suffocating grip of occupation and escalating violence. Especially amid unprecedented attempts to erase Palestinian culture, comedy is not just art, but an act of political resistance and a way to insist on Palestinian humanity. – Ruth Somalo

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Alaa Aliabdallah, producer Charlotte Knowles, executive producer Carri Twigg, editor Libby Knowles, and protagonist Alaa Shehada.
