THIS SUNDAY 2 NOVEMBER 2025:

See a movie that matters - see a movie from and about Palestine - come and join us from all over the World - in my town all screenings are free of charge!

With its slogan “Emancipatory Film Culture in, from, and for Palestine”, Filmlab Palestine, a non-profit organization, strives, since its foundation in 2014, to promote, revive, and expand one of the most effective audiovisual tools for self-expression, storytelling, and the preservation of collective memory: Cinema.

As international news outlets, world leaders, and major social media platforms continue to censor and distort the narrative while fueling the dehumanization of Palestinians and their ongoing suffering, we are using our channels to support the forcibly canceled Palestine Cinema Days Festival.

On November 2, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, we are organizing over 500 Palestinian film screenings around the world. This global effort is a show of solidarity with Palestine, an act of amplification for censored Palestinian voices, and a contribution to shifting the distorted narrative.

FILMS SHOWN:

- Eila Suleiman: Divine Intervention (2002)

In Nazareth, absurd daily life hides deep tension. E.S. navigates between caring for his ailing father and a relationship with a woman from Ramallah, separated by an Israeli checkpoint. Their love, confined to a deserted lot, struggles under occupation. Political reality invades their intimacy, sparking surreal fantasies where desire resists siege, yet reality’s grip proves unrelenting.

(Only available for viewing in the United States of America)

- Maha Haj: UPSHOT (2024)

Suleiman and Mona are a couple who lead a solitary life in which they care for animals and trees and have constant heated discussions about their children’s life choices. However, one day, their routine is disturbed when a stranger shows up, calling to mind a painful past.

- Tewfik Saleh: The Dupes (1972)

Based on Ghassan Kanafani’s novella, three Palestinian refugees—Abu Qais, Assad, and Marwan—attempt to escape Lebanon’s refugee camps for Kuwait. Hiding in a water tanker under the desert sun, they suffocate when the smuggler fails to release them in time. The tragedy ends with a haunting question: “Why didn’t they knock on the walls of the tank?”

- Carol Mansour & Muna Khalidi: A State of Passion (2024)

British-Palestinian surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu Sittah spent 43 days under Gaza’s bombardment, treating the wounded without rest. Facing horrific injuries, targeted hospitals, and orphaned children, his work became a symbol of resistance. This film explores his sixth and most harrowing Gaza war, his family’s fears, and the shared passion for Palestine that fuels his relentless humanitarian mission despite the danger.

- Mohammad Bakri: Jenin, Jenin (2003)

In 2002, during Israel’s invasion of Jenin refugee camp, journalists were barred and war crime accusations emerged. Filmmaker Mohammad Bakri entered to record residents’ testimonies, giving voice to those silenced. The film was banned, sparking legal battles and accusations from soldiers. Years later, Israel’s Supreme Court overturned the ban, restoring this raw account of a community under siege.

- Annemarie Jacir: When I Saw You (2012)

In 1967 Jordan, 11-year-old Tarek and his mother, separated from his father during war, wait in a refugee camp for a return to Palestine. Restless and longing for reunion, Tarek discovers a group embodying freedom and hope. His journey with them transforms his life, capturing a moment when youthful idealism and political awakening ignite a path toward change.

- Lina Soualem: Bye Bye Tiberias (2023)

n her early twenties, Hiam Abbass left her native Palestinian village to follow her dream of becoming an actress in Europe, leaving behind her mother, grandmother, and seven sisters. Thirty years later, her filmmaker daughter Lina returns with her to the village and questions for the first time her mother’s bold choices, her chosen exile and the way the women in their family influenced both their lives. Set between past and present, Bye Bye Tiberias pieces together images of today, family footage from the nineties and historical archives to portray four generations of daring Palestinian women who keep their story and legacy alive through the strength of their bonds, despite exile, dispossession, and heartbreak.
