90 minute programme of 8 short films and a recorded film-makers' Q&A
This year’s 90-minute programme focuses on the work of queer, Palestinian, and allied artists, in historic Palestine, across the diaspora, and beyond, and includes film-maker Q&As. The programme features a diverse mix of identities, lengths, styles, and genres (doc-hybrid, experimental, fiction, and animation) to highlight the key role of art in resistance and the struggle for liberation.
Taking place during Pride month in many countries worldwide, the third edition of Queer Cinema for Palestine aims to expose and fight Israel’s pinkwashing of its atrocities against Palestinians, including Israel’s Gaza genocide, and highlight a growing number of queer networks and Pride organizations ending complicity in Israel’s crimes.
From Hastings to South Korea, Turtle Island to Pakistan, Slovenia to Palestine, hundreds of QCP partners are saying, “There is no pride in genocide.”
