Palestine Film Festival - Bristol (CDD)

30th Nov - 8th Dec, 2024

The Bristol Palestine Film Festival organises an annual festival of films from or about Palestine, or made by Palestinian film-makers and has been running since 2011. The festival is centred in Bristol and the South West of England and includes other art forms such as music, dance, theatre, writing or visual arts.  Since 2018 they have been working with venues and organisations outside Bristol to bring Palestinian films to the widest possible audience (watch out for events in Clevedon, Bath and Bradford-upon-Avon).

They are committed to providing an opportunity for moviegoers in the Southwest to experience the lives of Palestinian people through film. By bringing to Bristol Palestinian film, art and culture they invite viewers to explore the multiple realities and identities of the Palestinian people. It is this focus on their humanity and the expression of the everyday lives of Palestinians that is at the core of the mission of this Festival.  They also bring to Bristol one Palestinian film director to do intros to the films, take part in Q&As, do some media work and speak to film students.

LYT are delighted to help fund the BPFF in this coming year with a CDD of £3500.  Please go see this brilliant event!
