PFI Film Fund Launch

  • Palestine Pavilion International Village Pontiero 202 Cannes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 06400 France (map)

In partnership with

Reclaiming our image. Empowering our filmmakers.

Followed by A  Celebratory Reception for Palestinian Cinema 

Hosted by LIGHTDOX, NOISE FILM PR, SQUARE EYES, and DAE - Documentary Association of Europe. 

For over a century, Palestinian filmmakers have crafted powerful images and narratives that bear witness to our people’s struggles, joys, and hopes. These stories, however, have too often been silenced, erased, or misrepresented.

Today, more than ever, there is a critical need to support Palestinian filmmakers in reclaiming narrative sovereignty and asserting their creative agency.

It is with great pride that the Palestine Film Institute, together with its founding partners — the IDFA Bertha Fund, IMS – International Media Support, and AFAC – Arab Fund for Arts and Culture — announces the official launch of the PFI Film Fund.

This fund marks a new chapter in supporting Palestinian cinema — one rooted in resistance, imagination, and collective empowerment.

Celebratory Reception for Palestinian Cinema

On the occasion of the official launch of the PFI Film Fund, join us in honoring the spirit, resilience, and brilliance of Palestinian cinema — and the filmmakers, stories, and supporters behind it. A gathering to amplify the voices and visions that continue to inspire and resist through the power of film, and come together in community and solidarity. Join us for a bite and to hear more about the newly launched PFI FIlm Fund and how you can be part of it. 

By invitation only.
