THE BRIDE DRESS (2019) // DIR. MARWAH JBARA-TIBI

The film captures the journey of two Palestinian brides, Lubna and Sumoud, who share the same wedding dress and the same challenge of having their grooms present on their wedding days. A political prisoner, Sumoud's Fiancé watches his engagement party through video from behind bars, and Lubna’s groom, denied an entry permit, takes the risk of being smuggled into Nazareth. In the film, we watch how the simple joy of marriage can turn into something much more complicated.
