The Witness Palestine Film Festival

The Witness Palestine Film Festival

Since 2012, the Witness Palestine Film Festival has brought Palestinian cinema to our community in Rochester, NY. We invite viewers and activists across Western NY to join us for the 13th edition of the festival, which will take place from November 16th-24th, 2024. After the year of unprecedented suffering we have all witnessed, we know the mission of this festival is more important than ever.

The Witness Palestine Film Festival is a project of Rochester Witness for Palestine (RW4P), which seeks a just peace for the people of Palestine wherever they may be. RW4P's motto "Come and see, go and tell" applies also to the work of WPFF, which aims to provide a space for reflection and discussion, as well as tools for action and change.

The Witness Palestine Film Festival Committee includes activists involved in interfaith and Palestinian solidarity work. As a member organization of the Rochester Committee to End Apartheid, RW4P is dedicated to growing the movement for Palestinian freedom in Rochester, NY, and across the globe.
