We're excited to announce that we're back this Spring for our 23rd annual film festival, bringing you the very best of Palestinian storytelling!
We have a great lineup this year, opening with "Bye Bye Tiberias", a moving memoir about the burden of leaving, the endurance of memory, and the determination to forge one's own destinies and identities.
Catch films such as the award-winning "Israelism", which uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically.
Stick around for Closing Night, where we'll watch "Lyd", that expores the story of a 5,000-year-old metropolis that was once a bustling Palestinian town until it was conquered by Israel in 1948.
Watch this space, because tickets will be on sale soon!
