Join us TODAY for a screening and discussion on the Oscar and nominated short film The Present that just won a BAFTA.
Dear John,
Join MPAC’s Hollywood Bureau, Pillars Fund, and Open Screenplay today at 11:00 am PT for a screening and discussion on BAFTA-winner and Oscar-nominated short film The Present.
“A deeply moving depiction of the routine, soul-breaking humiliation of life in the Occupied [Palestinian] Territories, The Present benefits from the stolid presence of Saleh Bakri (The Band’s Visit) as Yusef, a beaten but not quite broken man trying to navigate a checkpoint and bring home a gift for his wife.”
Please note: The screening begins on Zoom at 11 AM (PT) and the discussion will start at 11:30 AM (PT) and will be broadcast on Zoom, Facebook Live and Youtube Live.
