Film: The Dupes + Q&A

Join us for a screening of for a screening of The Dupes, the classic directed by Tawfik Saleh, which will be followed by a Q&A.


Set in the 1950s, The Dupes traces the destinies of three different men brought together by their dispossession, their despair and their hope for a better future. The protagonists are Palestinian refugees trying to make their way across the border from Iraq into Kuwait, the 'Promised Land,' concealed in the steel tank of a truck. Representing different dimensions of the Palestinian experience, each one believes he can make a new life for himself, but as the film’s title suggests, their flight is no solution.


One of the first Arab films to address ‘the Palestinian question’, this is a stark and stately film that, despite its age, remains urgently relevant.


Screened in collaboration with Thawra Archive


Dir: Tawfik Saleh
