FILMPALESTINEFESTIVAL
The Boston Palestine Film Festival (BPFF) brings Palestine-related
cinema, narratives, and culture to new England audiences.
The festival has featured over 300 compelling and thought-
provoking films, including documentaries, features, rare early works,
video art pieces, and new films by emerging artists and youth. These
works from directors around the world have offered refreshingly
honest, self-described, and independent views of Palestine and its
history, culture, and geographically dispersed society.
Each year, guest filmmakers from various countries and expert
commentators add contextual depth to the films. BPFF also offers
ancillary cultural programming including concerts by Palestinian
musicians and art exhibits by or about Palestinians.
From its sold-out opening events to its jubilant concluding nights,
the annual Boston Palestine Film Festival continues to meet with
an overwhelmingly positive response. BPFF receives coverage in
prominent local media outlets, including The Boston Globe, The
Boston Phoenix, The Harvard Crimson, The Harvard Record, The
Jewish Advocate, NewEnglandfilm.com, and WBUR (a local affiliate of
national Public Radio), to name just a few.
VENuES
Each year, the festival takes place at numerous prestigious and
diverse Boston-area venues. Venues in previous years have included:
