Wedding in Galilee (Arabic: عرس الجليل, romanized: Urs al-Jalil) is a 1987 film directed by Michel Khleifi. It marks the first feature film made in Palestine by a Palestinian director[1][2] and was awarded the International Critics Prize at Cannes in 1987. Produced during an era when there were scarce cinematic depictions of Palestinian existence,[3] Wedding in Galilee revolves around the marriage ceremony of a young couple in a Palestinian village situated in Galilee, northern Israel.
