6:30 Doors Open
The Arc, 27 Broad St, Bristol, BS1 2HG (Under the Palestine Museum Culture Centre)
(PWYW minimum £10 / concession £6)

All proceeds goes to support Palestinians through Gaza families and Bristol-based Gazans.

There will be home-made Palestinian food for sales, from the amazing Khan Al-Zeit (https://www.instagram.com/khan.alzeit/). Vegan and GF option will be available. The food will be first come first served, and is not included in the ticket. Please come join us for the delicious dinner!

We will be screening It Must Be Heaven (2019). Elia Suleiman escapes from Palestine seeking an alternative homeland, only to find that Palestine is trailing behind him. The promise of a new life turns into a comedy of errors: however far he travels, from Paris to New York. The movie follows Elia as he wryly observes the absurdity of militarism, capitalism, and occupation in cities from Palestine to Europe to the USA.

Accessibility info: The room where we do the screening is wheelchair accessible, but the door to access to the disabled toilets is temporarily limited to 90cm wide whilst renovation works continue. We are dedicated to making the event as accessible and inclusive as we can. If the ticket price is an issue, or if you have any accessibility requirement, please get in touch through dm-ing Bristol Leftist Collective on Instagram!
