  • Arab picks from LFF 2025

    Aside from our recently reviewed Palestine 36, the BFI London Film Festival marked the festival run tailend for a number of films from the Arab world.

  • Palestine 36 - Harrowing and all too rare retelling of the...

    1944. Wartime Italy. Icebound village. Maura Delpero’s Vermiglio (2025) is truly an exquisite winner of the Venice Film Festival’s Grand Jury. The slow-burn family saga unspools the glimpses of joy swallowed by the void of war. It has the essence of a memoir with the period film rooted in the... continue

Blood on the Condor (1969)

by Tilly Lunken
In the programs for film festivals there are always a few films that on the surface appear a little out of place. Blood on the Condor directed by Jorge Sanjines is a 1969 film set in Bolivia and yet, it deeply resonates through our contemporary life and understanding of the occupied Palestinian State.
