Bristol Palestine Film Festival is back in 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 November - 8 December 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 the ongoing war.
The programme this year centres Gazan voices and stories in many different forms. The festival kicks off at Arnolfini on 30 November with From Ground Zero (2024), a collection of short films made by Gazans on the ground in the latest war on Gaza. Later that night we are hosting the brilliant British-Palestinian singer Reem Kelani, whose latest single ‘If I Die’ is set to the poem of the same name by Refaat Alareer, the poet and professor who was killed by an Israeli bomb in Gaza in December 2023. On Tuesday 3 December we are screening the documentary Yallah Gaza (2023), exploring the continuing endurance of Gaza as a territory and a people despite the successive military assaults, occupation and blockade by Israeli forces.
