Our featured film for the evening is director Julian Schnabel's Miral. An ever-innovative artist, Schnabel's groundbreaking work has frequently inspired and surprised. His latest is no exception. In this film, based on Palestinian broadcaster and writer Rula Jebreal's autobiographical novel, he applies his innovative talents to a story that spans several decades and touches many lives.
Please join us for the Centerpiece screening of Miral, with special guests Julian Schnabel and Rula Jebreal in attendance.

On the cusp of the Intifada, Miral falls for a fervent political activist, sparking a personal battle that mirrors the greater dilemma around her in Julian Schnabel's drama about four women searching for justice, hope and reconciliation amid the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
