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.
