Focus on Palestine
The Focus on Palestine shines much-needed spotlights on several Palestinian stories. Where films such as Bethlehem 2001 and Layl focus on the fear that comes with years of war and oppression, A Short Film About Kids shows the resilience of a group of Palestinian children. With one phone call, I Signed the Petition summarises the difficulties Palestinians experience overseas and Dancing Palestine, in turn, is a love letter to the dabke, a Palestinian folk dance. The dance acts as a testament to collective memory and leaves a mark on the future. Above all, it symbolises an enormous love for life. The programme includes documentaries, animation and live-action fiction, all with their own view on Palestinian identity.
Ticket revenue for this programme will be donated to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS). This is an independent Palestinian organization that provides humanitarian aid, health care and social services to Palestinians in Palestine and the Palestinian diaspora. When purchasing a ticket, you can also make a free donation.
