A little bit about us...
We're a volunteer-run, not-for-profit collective of Palestinians and allies dedicated to bringing Palestinian art to the Edinburgh and Highland audiences. Palestinians are too often summed up as an ‘occupied people’ as though they have no other stories to tell. Using cinema, primarily, as a tool of resistance we strive to decolonize the narrative. We want to build community while celebrating Palestinian art and culture through cinema, music, cuisine, and other storytelling mediums.
We strive to challenge preconceptions of Palestinians as perpetual victims, highlighting instead their steadfast resistance, cultural preservation, stories of love, and in the words of poet Rafeef Ziadeh, teachings of life. In so doing, we offer a refreshing portrayal, diverging from the global north’s mainstream narrative and shine a light on our shared humanity.
