Palestinian Refugees Film Festival

Palestinian Refugees Film Festival is considered the first international film festival in Palestine specialized in short films that tackle issues of refugees in general and Palestinian refugees in the Occupied Territories and the diaspora. Accordingly, this festival joins other international festivals in concentrating on refugees, their fundamental human rights, which include liberty and freedom of expression, and their active participation in demanding these fundamental rights. The festival will screen a diverse range of films from June 1 to June 20, 2021. Films will be carefully selected from among the films submitted for this significant initiative. Approximately 15 hours of films of various lengths and genres will be screened during the festival, which will comprise documentary, narrative, experimental, and artistic films. The festival will also host a group of international professionals who will hold workshops and open discussions on several topics of interest to Filmmaking students. This initiative constitutes a coherent cinematic event that aims to enhance the culture of cinema in Palestine and elevate Palestinian Filmmaking students to the international standards requisite for them to excel in this domain
