Palestine Cinema Days 2018 Palestinians Resist Through Film

This year’s Palestine Cinema Days is focused on promoting Palestinian films and stories in the face of increasing pressure on Palestine and its people wherever they may be.  From the US moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, to the cutting of funds to UNRWA, Palestinians have suffered one of the most disheartening years since they lost their land seven decades ago. On this occasion, Palestine Cinema Days brings to the audiences in Palestine important stories of suffering, resilience, and the human condition shared by us all.
