Taking place during Pride month in many countries worldwide, the third edition of QCP 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 organisations ending complicity in Israel’s crimes.
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.
From Margate to South Korea, Turtle Island to Pakistan, Slovenia to Palestine, hundreds of QCP partners are saying, “There is no pride in genocide.”

History
Queer Cinema for Palestine began as an alternative ethical space for filmmakers who pulled or refused to show their work in the Israeli government-sponsored TLVFest LGBTQ Film Festival. Over the past six years, hundreds of filmmakers have shown their solidarity in response to the boycott call from Palestinians, including queer and trans Palestinian organisations. As Israel continues its genocide in Gaza, and ethnic cleansing and apartheid rule of the West Bank and across historic Palestine, Queer Cinema for Palestine condemns Israel’s colonial violence and stands in solidarity with Indigenous Palestinians.
