“Palestine in the cinema is not only a political situation. It’s a people with culture, language, art, with negative and positive sides. We exist in cinema as a nation.” -Rashid Masharawi

Join us for an evening celebrating the richness and depth of Palestinian cinema with a curated selection of short work by Palestinian filmmakers. This event is a tribute to the resilience, creativity, and collective memory of the Palestinian people. Through the work of directors like Elia Suleiman, Annemarie Jacir, Basma Alsharif and more, we explore the Palestinian people’s history, struggles, dreams and resistance.

All proceeds for this night benefit Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. If you can’t make it to the event, please consider making a donation here.
