DESCRIPTION:The Association of the Palestinian Community in the UK and the

 e's 1974 classic...\n\nKAFR KASSEM Bourhan Alaouie / 1974Drama / 104min\n\
 nVENUE MAP TICKETS\n\nKAFR KASSEM is an expertly paced political drama tha
 t stands the test of time. Amongst the earliest films on Palestine to be w
 idely seen in the Arab world\, the film was the first to foreground the fa
 te of those who had remained 'behind' in the occupied homeland. On the eve
 n of the 1956 Suez War\, Israel imposed a curfew on Palestinians living un
 der its rule. Unaware of this\, the villagers of Kafr Kassem were met by I
 sraeli troops on returning from work in the evening. Many were subsequentl
 y executed in what became known as the Kafr Kassem massacre.  Lebanese di
 rector Bourhan Alaouie's portrait of village life in the hours leading up 
 to the atrocity is a seminal work of political cinema from the region. Mad
 e at the height of the Palestinian revolution\, the film was produced and 
 distributed in association with the PLO's Cinema Institution. It indicts a
  regime of exploitation and violence faced by Palestinians in Israel while
  calling for a renewal of pan-Arab solidarities and social reform. protago
