United Screens for Palestine

United Screens for Palestine

United Screens for Palestine is an open and decentralised collective of programmers, cultural workers, and venues. The collective responds to the paralysis brought about by the ongoing genocide, as well as the increasing policing, censorship, and criminalisation of all things Palestinian.

Each screening is intended as a space for conversation, learning, and—most importantly—mobilisation. The initiative affirms that presenting these films means insisting that witnessing is an active process, far beyond the act of watching. It builds on long-standing global film efforts that serve as platforms for substantive dialogue and an earnest exploration of the historical narrative of Palestine.

Film Workers for Palestine

Film Workers for Palestine


Film Workers for Palestine is a call by and for filmmakers and cinema workers to stand for an end to genocide and for a free Palestine. The initiative builds spaces and infrastructure for organizing in response to the war on Palestinians and to the censoring of voices that speak out against Israel's genocidal campaign.

Naturally, stop-motion animation became their primary medium, as it allowed them to combine all the family's diverse talents—writing, directing, photography, fashion, engineering, and handicrafts—into a single artistic form.

Red Carpet Human Rights Film Festival, Gaza, Palestine

Red Carpet Human Rights Film Festival, Gaza, Palestine

The festival presents short and feature-length films, documentaries, and animated films that shed light on local and global humanitarian issues. The first edition took place in May 2015. Amid the rubble of Gaza City’s Shijaiyah district—an area heavily bombarded during the 2014 summer war between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in the densely populated enclave—the organisers rolled out a 60-meter-long red carpet.

It is the first festival in Gaza to focus on human rights issues, featuring films and discussions not only on Palestine but also on other regions around the world.
