SAFAR Masterclass with Mohammad Bakri

SAFAR Film Festival

,Cinema 1
Upshot

A masterclass with Mohammad Bakri, whose expressive face has defined over fifty years of screen culture from and about Palestine.

From his distinct, enigmatic role in Hanna K. by Costa Gavras in 1983, to his most recent feature, Cherian Dabis’ All That’s Left of You (2025) alongside his sons Adam and Saleh, Mohammad Bakri’s expressive face has defined over fifty years of screen culture from and about Palestine.

In his celebrated career, he has embodied very singular roles in Palestinian cinema but also in international productions. A director himself, he has staged several theatre plays and created impactful documentaries about his home country, preserving the stories of Palestinian elders displaced by the Nakba in 1948 (1998), and of survivors of the 2002 Jenin massacres in Jenin Jenin (2002), among others.
