This special shorts programme is co-curated with Other Cinemas (Arwa Aburawa and Turab Shah).
From Australia to Algeria, Canada to South Africa, this special shorts programme is a celebration of all the ways that Palestinian filmmakers speak to and connect with other struggles around the world. The programme brings together four films from across dramatic, documentary, and experimental genres, which each take up Palestine as a lens to engage with other intersectional histories of struggle.
