Roya Media Group has announced that the highly anticipated Palestinian feature film "Palestine 36" is gearing up for its major commercial rollout across cinemas in Turkey, with official theatrical releases scheduled to commence this coming Friday, July 17th.
This strategic expansion represents a significant milestone in the film’s international distribution journey. The commercial launch is backed by an intensive promotional campaign tailored to capture the attention of both Turkish cinephiles and the large Arab community residing in Turkey, marking a crucial step in amplifying Arab cinema's footprint in the regional market.
Kickstarting the high-profile promotional activities, celebrated producer Ossama Bawardi and director Karim Daoud Anaya participated yesterday in a heavily attended press conference in Turkey. The event was hosted by the prestigious cinema and co-production platform, TRT 12 Punto (under the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation). During the conference, the filmmakers engaged with prominent local and international media outlets, diving deep into the creative vision, production journey, and the compelling human narratives embedded within "Palestine 36."
To further build momentum ahead of the official box office premiere, TRT 12 Punto will host an exclusive, red-carpet special screening of the film on Thursday evening, July 16th. This pre-release event will gather an elite audience of filmmakers, industry executives, film critics, and cultural figures, providing a dedicated platform for critical discussion and artistic exchange before the film becomes widely accessible to the general public the following day.
"Palestine 36" has already garnered critical acclaim and strong audience resonance since its festival debut. Its wide theatrical release in Turkey underscores the growing demand for authentic, impactful storytelling from the Arab world and reinforces the global appeal of Palestinian cinema in navigating and conquering international theatrical circuits.
