Join us for a Midlands Premiere of Rashid Masharawi’s 2024 Passing Dreams, a deeply moving film that follows a young boy and his uncle in search of his missing bird across various Palestinian cities. The film will be preceded by a creative workshop led by multi-disciplinary artist Sharonjit Kaur Sutton, where you can craf your own origami pigeon hanging decoration.

Samy, 12, takes us on a one day and night trip, accompanied by his uncle and his two-year older cousin in search for his missing bird. His neighbours told him it might have returned to its original home. The journey runs from a refugee camp in the West Bank to different Palestinian cities including Bethlehem, Old Jerusalem and Haifa.

During the journey and through everything that happens to them, and between them, we discover the absurdity and wit of reality, as the impact on their characters and their relationship with themselves and others.
