Falastin Film Festival (FFF) is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit collective of Palestinians and allies dedicated to bringing Palestinian art to Scottish audiences. Palestinians are often summed up as an ‘occupied people,’ and spoken for, though they have unending stories to tell.
Using cinema, primarily, as a tool of resistance, we strive to decolonize the narrative and equip audiences with historical context. We want to build community while celebrating Palestinian art and culture through cinema, music, cuisine, and other storytelling mediums.
Scotland’s exposure to Palestinian history, art, and culture remains rather limited. We hope to contribute to filling this gap, using both classical and contemporary cinema, primarily, but not exclusively.
In so doing, we hope to provide a vibrant representation that encompasses the geographic, linguistic, and experiential diversity of the Palestinian people, globally, all the while educating our audiences on the more than 100 years of zionist occupation endured.
Falastin Frames is our monthly fundraiser screening project. We will be screening our FFF 2025 most popular selection to fundraise for next year’s edition of the festival.
