The festival will begin in Marseille, France, and Ramallah, Palestine. Its premiere will be held in Marseille on20 October 2024, and in Ramallah, 21 October 2024. It will then travel to different locations in Palestine and abroad, making the issues and concerns of 19 Palestinian artists and several international artists known. The festival’s screenings will include two programs, with the first encompassing the work of foreign artists, and the second including Palestinian artistic productions. The Palestinian films are divided into two parts, each 48 minutes long, to be screened consecutively. Film themes and artistic language focus on the ongoing Nakba, especially in light of the genocidal war on Gaza raging since 7 October 2023. Artists will distinctively present their video artworks and installations that will cover Jerusalem, Ramallah, Haifa, refugee camps, and the Gaza Strip, respectively. “Let’s move! Let the images flow, let the pictures express themselves... The festival will not abandon the scene.” Curator: Salim Abu Jabal
