El Gouna Film Festival Brings Back Window on Palestine Strand for a Second Year: ‘This Is Touching Us All’
The El Gouna Film Festival has decided to bring back its Window of Palestine program for a second year.
During the scaled-down edition held in December, the festival responded to the conflict by programming a special strand titled Window on Palestine, which included films such as Farah Nabulsi’s “The Teacher” and panel discussions on Palestinian filmmaking in times of crisis. “In response to the ongoing crisis in Gaza, we are renewing the Window on Palestine program at this year’s festival,” said El Gouna’s official announcement. “Palestine and Lebanon are very present in the program, from the ‘Window on Palestine’ section to the films selected in the general program and the members of the jury,” artistic director Marianne Khoury told Variety, taking the time to mention how the festival will also shine a light on Lebanese filmmaking as the conflicts expand into the country.
