Tiff50: Billy Howle attends the premiere of "Palestine 36"

Palestine 36" Premiere Billy Howle attends the premiere of "Palestine 36" during the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival at Roy Thomson Hall on September 05, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario. During an interview with Suhaila (Su Theories) from Temple of Geek, actor Billy Howle described his experience working on the movie "Palestine 36," a film that focuses on a pivotal part of Palestinian history. Emotional Impact: Howle expressed that he felt very emotional about the film and that the process, from reading the script to the premiere, had changed his life for the better. He stated that his emotions, which he described as anger, were a "useful life force" that could be used to "correct injustice" and "speak truth to power". Personal Growth: The film has caused Howle to be less self-interested and more globally aware of injustices around the world. He believes that the audience can also afford to do the same. His Character: Howle plays a character named Thomas, a British diplomat who initially believes he is doing the right thing in Palestine by helping an "undeveloped nation to become a nation". However, Thomas eventually realizes the "intractable damage" caused by the British and leaves his post in exasperation. Howle noted that, in real life, Thomas returned to the UK and became an anarchist. Howle believes his character's journey will be relatable and helpful for many people. Message of the Film: Howle hopes the film will encourage audiences to "interrogate [their] own moral standing" and principles. He stated that the situation in Palestine, though often complicated by discourse in the Western world, has a "crystalline moral thing" that everyone should understand on a human level. Howle concluded the interview by saying "Free Palestine".
