Two weekends of Palestinian cinema, cultural expression and community dialogue in Frankfurt's public spaces.
01
The EventWhat we're building
A grassroots, open-air film series launching in August 2025.
We transform public spaces into venues for Palestinian cinema, reclaiming visibility and accessibility.
02
The ProgramWhat you'll experience
Palestinian films from diverse voices, director talks, and panel discussions.
Live music and spoken word performances that extend the conversation beyond the screen.
03
The MissionWhy it matters
Centering Palestinian voices, histories, and struggles through storytelling.
Building collective resistance and fostering dialogue about justice and liberation.
Why Palestine Cinema Days?
In Germany, where Palestinian voices are often underrepresented, these Days create space for cultural dialogue.
Through film, we share stories that connect and inspire, bringing authentic voices to contemporary storytelling.
Reclaim the right to narrate.
The mission that drives us
Where? We take it to the streets.
Not in a cinema. Going outdoors is both a political act and a necessity. As cultural venues in Germany close their doors to Palestinian voices, we take to the public spaces.
