Join Chicago Palestine Film Festival as we celebrate Palestinians in Film or the 14th year in a row!

We would like to present critically acclaimed film The Wanted 18 and MIRROR IMAGE.

THE WANTED 18
Trailer – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlKZ8daLtOo

A small town’s bravely rebellious standoff in the time of the first intifada becomes a tragicomic caper in the retelling, with four gossipy animated cows as the heroines. Neophyte dairy farmers in the West Bank town of Beit Sahour make a bid for self sufficiency by buying eighteen cows, which are promptly declared a threat to Israeli national security. Absurdity and black comedy are the threads running through this story narrated by actual participants and punctuated by engaging live-action and animated reenactments.

MIRROR IMAGE
The filmmaker and her Israeli grandparents disagree over the meaning of a purloined heirloom.

Join us for a panel discussion after the film!
Suhad Babaa, Executive Director of Just Vision, which is releasing the film in partnership with Intuitive Pictures and Kino Lorber, will be there to share her input and answer questions after the film.
