PALESTINE CINEMA DAYS is an annual film festival organized by Filmlab Palestine, launched in 2014 to spotlight Palestinian cinema locally and internationally.
This year, on November 2 — the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration — over 500 Palestinian film screenings will take place worldwide in a coordinated act of solidarity and amplification of Palestinian voices.
Fyrisbiografen is joining the initiative with a special screening of Tewfik Saleh’s 1972 classic THE DUPES — one of the first Arab films to address the Palestinian struggle.
Admission is free, but a pre-booked ticket is required. Tickets will be available for reservation starting Wednesday, October 29, via Fyrisbiografen's website or at the cinema box office.
If you are unable to attend, please cancel your ticket as early as possible so that someone else can have the opportunity to see the film. You can cancel your ticket by calling or sending an SMS (remember to include your name) to the box office phone number: 070 - 573 07 74.
About the film:
The Dupes is a powerful political drama based on the novella Men in the Sun by Palestinian author Ghassan Kanafani. It follows the tragic journey of three Palestinian refugees—Abu Qais, Assad, and Marwan—each from a different generation, who are desperate to escape the harsh conditions of refugee camps in Lebanon and seek a better life in Kuwait.
The Dupes were one of the first Arab films to address the Palestinian struggle.
The film is in Arabic with English subtitles.
About the director:
Tewfik Saleh was a pioneering Egyptian filmmaker known for his realistic and political cinema. Born in Alexandria in 1926, he studied film in Paris. His bold films tackled deep social and political issues, most notably The Dupes (1972). Saleh was known for his humanistic style and independent stance, often clashing with censorship authorities. He received several international awards and passed away in 2013, leaving behind a powerful legacy in Arab cinema.
