Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Heart-wrenching historical drama rooted in one girl’s lost childhood during the 1948 Nabka - the military-enforced displacement of native Palestinians necessary for the birth of the modern Israeli state. Intimate, shocking and pertinent cinema followed by a panel discussion with Lowkey and director Darin J. Sallam."

Based on a true story, Jordanian director Darin J. Sallam tells the coming-of-age story of 14-year old Farha, whose childhood, and her dreams of an education, are shattered following the brutal military invasion of her country. Farha finds herself trapped in her family house, hiding from the Israeli military and watching the unfolding catastrophe. Farha is the film that Israeli government officials tried to cancel, and tells the story they don’t want to be told.
Darin J. Sallam is Jordanian with Palestinian descent and she has directed five award-winning short films. Despite it being Darin’s first feature film, Farha has enjoyed a prestigious outing and after its premiere at Toronto International Film Festival, has been selected as Jordan’s submission to the International Feature Film category in the 95th Academy Awards (Oscars). While being well received at international film festivals, Farha and its distributor Netflix have come under attack from the Israeli government, who have called for a boycott of Netflix over it.
The event will be followed by an evening Poetry For Palestine event at 7:30pm, featuring live performances from rapper and activist Lowkey, as well as Palestinian poets and writers Hind Shoufani and Selma Dabbagh. Tickets for that event can also be purchased here: https://hdfst.uk/e97842
At all events we will be selling festival merch, artwork and unique products designed by talented Palestinian creatives. This year all profits will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). In addition all donations received by BristolPFF, through HeadFirst or at screenings, will be passed directly to MAP.
