丕賳鬲賷 氐丕賲丿丞 / She the Steadfast

(49 mins, 2023) 

including a post-show Q&A with director and Professor Nicola Pratt

She the Steadfast offers a strikingly original exploration of Palestinian identity and women鈥檚 resistance to Israeli settler colonialism. Developed with Palestinian women living in the West Bank (2016–2022), the film draws inspiration from indigenous dress culture to weave together five powerful women鈥檚 performances with a patchwork of archival footage from Palestine, the diaspora, and international media. The result is a bold, multi-layered portrait of gender, memory, and resistance—one that reimagines how stories of occupied Palestine can be told.

The film features collaborative theatre from Mariam, Su鈥檃d, Nawal, Nihayah, Fadwa, and Yara; original performances by Hanin Tarabay and Asmaa Azaizeh; and archival images from the UNRWA photo and film archive for Palestine refugees. This not-for-profit film was made with support from CHASE, with post-study development funded by Arts Council England.
