BYE BYE TIBERIAS

March 24 @ 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm

In her early twenties, Hiam Abbass (Succession, Ramy, Blade Runner) left her native Palestinian village to follow her dream of becoming an actress in France, leaving behind her mother, grandmother, and seven sisters. Thirty years later, her filmmaker daughter Lina returns with her to the village and questions for the first time her mother’s bold choices: her chosen exile and the way the women in their family influenced both their lives.

Set between past and present, BYE BYE TIBERIAS weaves together images of today, family footage from the nineties, and historical archives to portray four generations of daring Palestinian women who keep their story and legacy alive through the strength of their bonds despite displacement, dispossession, and heartbreak.

Palestine’s entry for Best International Feature in the 2024 Academy Awards, this second feature from Lina Soualem premiered at Venice, won the Grierson Award at the BFI London Film Festival, had its North American Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and won the shared jury prize at the Marrakech International Film Festival.

Co-presented by Boston Palestine Film Festival and Women in Film and Video New England. Sponsored by AstroCats Cosmic Feline Lounge, Gibson Rickenbacker, and Murray Masonry and More.
