Bristol Palestine Film Festival 2024

Bristol Palestine Film Festival 2024

Bristol Palestine Film Festival is back for 2024 with a diverse lineup of the very best in contemporary Palestinian cinema, arts and culture, telling urgent and necessary stories for, and by Palestinians.

This year’s festival takes place 30 Nov - 8 Dec at four independent venues across the city, with a huge lineup of 14 events, including live music, feature-films and documentaries, shorts, director Q&As, panel discussions and a club night. We’re proud to be showcasing a wide selection of Palestinian arts, music, film and DJs across our programme this year as testament to the vibrancy and endurance of Palestine despite the horrors of ongoing war.

The programme this year centres Gazan voices and stories in many different forms.

About the festival

Bristol Palestine Film Festival is committed to providing an opportunity for cinema-goers in the South West to experience the lives of Palestinian people through film. By bringing Palestinian film, art and culture to Bristol each year, we invite viewers to explore the multiple realities and identities of the Palestinian people. It is this focus on the humanity and the everyday lives of Palestinians that has always been at the core of our popular festival.
