This evening @tiff_net will screen Palestinian filmmaker Mai Masri's 3000 Nights / ٣٠٠٠ ليلة as part of their film series "Here and Now: Contemporary Arab Women Filmmakers" curated by @kiva.reardon. “In Nablus, West Bank in 1980, a young schoolteacher is arrested in the middle of the night and accused of being an accomplice in an attack on a settler, as she had by chance given a ride to the actual perpetrator, a young boy. Sentenced to eight years, she enters prison determined to survive, both for herself and, as she soon finds out, her unborn child. Based on interviews with real-life prisoners, Masri's script sheds light on the plight of thousands of Palestinians who have been wrongly convicted." The Toronto Palestine Film Festival is honored to be co-presenters of this celebration of works by women. View all nine films playing and purchase your tickets through the link below.
