THANK YOU
Following the commissioned performance which opened the festival at Barbican Cinema 1 on Friday, November 15, London Palestine Film Festival returned to 10 cinemas across London with its annual programme showcasing both highly established filmmakers as well as fresh and emerging talent. Over 15 days, the festival presented crucial dialogue regarding cinema from and about Palestine, its culture and its politics.
This year’s festival featured new releases and archival footage on the big screen at Barbican Cinemas, Bertha DocHouse, Curzon Hoxton and Soho, ICA and The Garden Cinema, Genesis, Riverside Studios, Sands Films Studio and SOAS University of London - and the national screenings of From Ground Zero from Scotland to Oxford.
Art serves as a powerful reflection of society and reality; this is why we create spaces where Palestinian voices are amplified on big screens, telling their own stories in their own ways. We thank our audiences for selling out London Palestine Film Festival 2024. Thank you for speaking, sharing, feeling, and for attending our festival over 15 days, producing 33 film screenings, an exclusive, commissioned theatre production and a book launch.
We hosted a grand total of 3,500 people at our screenings featuring films from and about Palestine. These films reached an even larger audience through press coverage, from Nowness, Time Out, and Film London, to TRT World, Middle East Monitor and The New Arab.
