Join the Global Movement to Reclaim the Narrative, and bring ‘Palestine Cinema Days’ to your communities.
In 2023, our friends at Film Lab Palestine had to postpone their Palestine Cinema Days festival. Instead of celebrating cinema in Palestine, they brought Palestine to the world. “Palestine Cinema Days” illuminated screens across the globe, thanks to partners who refused to compromise in the face of a colonial chokehold on media, repression of free expression throughout the so-called “free world,” and the ongoing dehumanization of Palestinians. Together, we hosted “Palestine Cinema Days Around the World” in 86 cities, across 139 venues, spanning 41 countries! This global event featured 171 screenings of 9 films from and about Palestine.
Eleven gruesome months have passed since the devastating genocidal war on Gaza, and the horrors only continue to mount. Yet international news outlets, world leaders, and major social media platforms persist in censoring and distorting the narrative, further dehumanizing Palestinians.
Now, you can extend your platform to the “Palestine Cinema Days” festival bringing it beyond Palestine, to the whole world.
Stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people by organizing film screenings worldwide.
These screenings will take place on November 2, the solemn anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. Let’s amplify Palestinian voices, expose false narratives, and inspire collective action toward justice and liberation.
Please complete the form as soon as possible to help us streamline the screenings.
Thanks to the generosity of filmmakers and film rights owners, we’re offering a curated selection of films for you to screen at your venue. These screenings will be completely free of charge, and we kindly ask that you promote them using Palestine Cinema Days’ unified artwork. Let the world see that we are hosting this festival together around the world.

Ma’loul is a Palestinian village in Galilee. In 1948, it was destroyed by the Israeli armed forces, and its inhabitants were forced to flee either to Lebanon or neighboring Nazareth. Ever since, former Ma’loul residents are only allowed to visit it once a year, on the anniversary of the occupation. That is how a picnic on this day, on the site of the destroyed village, became a tradition.
