The Teacher – TRAILER

The Teacher – TRAILER

As a cinephile who has traversed the cinematic landscapes of various cultures and conflicts, I must say that THE TEACHER trailer has caught my attention like a beacon in the night. Having delved into the complexities of the Middle East through films like The Band’s Visit and Wajib, I am intrigued by this feature debut of Farah Nabulsi.


In your inbox arrives a trailer for THE TEACHER, marking the initial film venture of Palestinian-British director Farah Nabulsi. This compelling movie aims to guide viewers through an emotionally charged exploration of daily life and challenges faced by those residing in occupied and colonized Palestine, offering insight into their struggles and tough decisions they must make.

As a former school teacher myself, I can empathize deeply with Saleh Bakri’s character in this story. His struggle to balance his political convictions and emotional ties feels all too real, a constant juggling act that many educators face. The added complexity of a new romantic relationship only intensifies the tension, making it a truly captivating tale that resonates with me on a personal level.

The movie made its debut at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival, and it has since been honored with the Best International Film Award at Galway Film Fleadh 2024. It also secured Audience Awards at the 67th San Francisco International Film Festival 2024, the 38th Washington DC International Film Festival 2024, and Kosmorama Trondheim International Film Festival 2024, in addition to more than a dozen other accolades.

In this film, we see Saleh Bakri (“The Blue Kaftan”, “The Present”, “Wajib” and “The Band’s Visit”), joined by Imogen Poots who has previously starred in diverse projects such as “Vivarium” and “Green Room”. Also appearing are Muhammad Abed El Rahman, Stanley Townsend, Paul Herzberg, Mahmoud Bakri and Andrea Irvine. Notably, Imogen Poots has been known to take on varied roles, from intense thrillers like “Green Room” to puzzling tales such as “Vivarium”, and this production seems to follow a similar path of human emotion, reminiscent of “The Father”. In that film, she shared the screen with Anthony Hopkins, who won an Oscar for his role, and the final scene was deeply poignant.

THE TEACHER will be in UK & Ireland cinemas from Friday 27th September 2024
