2024 – 10th anniversary of our Festival
Over these ten years we have continually strived to reach wider audiences and broaden our programme.
To mark the achievement of ten successful years, we aim to go even further.
We are planning an impressive range of special events throughout the year, culminating in our most ambitious Festival to date in November-December.
While maintaining our familiar Film Festival identity, the year’s programme will also showcase moving and powerful examples of Palestinian music, dance and art.
