Screening and Discussion of historical Palestinian film Return to Haifa.

Return to Haifa, set in 1967, follows Palestinian couple Saeed and Safiyya on their journey back to their home in Haifa, following their expulsion in 1948, in search of their son who was left behind.

Based on Ghassan Kanafani's novella from 1969, the film portrays the couple's encounter with the Jewish "Israeli" Holocaust survivors now living in their home, who have since adopted their son.

Director Kasam Hawal's film is a significant contribution to Palestinian film history and is just as relevant today as it was 40 years ago.
