About Falastin Film Festival: Palestinian Supper Club
Enjoy dinner and live storytelling featuring Glasgow-based Palestinian chefs Hiba and her daughter Dana of Hiba’s Palestinian Kitchen, as well as Edinburgh-based Palestinian author and cook Diline Abushaban.
Share delicious dishes that embody the richness and diversity of Palestinian cuisine, and listen to stories told by Hiba, Dana, and Diline on the symbolism and history behind these ingredients.
Hiba’s Palestinian Kitchen is founded by a mother & daughter wanting to spread Palestinian cuisine and heritage across Scotland. Their mission is to resist by keeping their dishes alive.
Diline Abushaban is an author and speaker, originally from Gaza, living in Scotland for 17 years. Diline is passionate about healing and inspiring people to live mindfully and heal their lives. Since the start of the ongoing genocide, Diline has been speaking, writing and sharing stories to challenge the dehumanisation of the Palestinian people and grieve the deep losses they are experiencing.
Falastin Film Festival (FFF) is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit collective of Palestinians and allies dedicated to bringing Palestinian art to Edinburgh and Highland audiences. Palestinians are often summed up as an ‘occupied people,’ and spoken for, though they have their own stories to tell. Using cinema as a tool of resistance the festival strives to decolonize the narrative and equip audiences with historical context. There is a desire to build community while celebrating Palestinian art and culture through cinema, music, cuisine, and other storytelling mediums. Scotland’s exposure to Palestinian society, art, culture, and humanity altogether remains rather limited. FFF hopes to fill this gap, using both classical and contemporary cinema primarily but not exclusively. They strive to highlight Palestinian steadfast resistance, cultural preservation, stories of love, and in the words of poet Rafeef Ziadah, teachings of life. In so doing, they offer a refreshing portrayal that encompasses the geographic, linguistic, and experiential diversity of the Palestinian people globally.
