Palestinians are often summed up as an ‘occupied people,’ and are spoken for, despite having countless stories to tell. Using cinema as a tool of resistance, we strive to decolonize the narrative and equip audiences with historical context. We want to build community while celebrating Palestinian art and culture through cinema, music, cuisine, and other storytelling mediums.\r\n\r\nScotland’s exposure to Palestinian society, art, culture, and humanity altogether remains rather limited. We hope to contribute to filling this gap, using both classical and contemporary cinema, primarily, but not exclusively. We strive to highlight Palestinian steadfast resistance, cultural pride and preservation, stories of love, and in the words of poet Rafeef Ziadah, teachings of life. In so doing, we offer a refreshing portrayal that encompasses the geographic, linguistic, and experiential diversity of the Palestinian people, globally.\r\n\r\n
