Palestinian Cinema Days Around The World Unveils Second Edition
‘Palestinian Cinema Days Around The World’ comprises 253 screenings of Palestinian eight films in 44 countries and over 150 cities.
The initiative also showcases older titles, Resistance – Why by Christian Ghazi, featuring interviews in 1970 with politician and Men in the Sun and Return to Haifa author Ghassan Kanafani, Syrian intellectual Sadiq Jalal El-Azm and PLO figure Nabil Shaath, as well as Michel Khleifi’s 1984 doc Maloul Celebrates its Destruction about the former inhabitants of a Palestinian village destroyed in the 1948 Arab-Israel war. The festival and industry event was cancelled last year in the wake of the Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack on Southern Israel, which killed more than 1,100 people and resulted in the taking of 253 hostages, at least 60 of whom are still believed to be alive and in captivity in Gaza. OCHA estimates that 91% of the 2.1M population is facing severe food insecurity, with the situation set to worsen following Israel’s decision to ban the activities of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees(UNRWA), which is the backbone of relief in Gaza.
