Palestinian Film Festival
The Palestinian Film Festival Australia is a social impact initiative committed to promoting Palestinian life, art, and culture. 2025 marks the 13th edition of the festival in Australia, and we’re excited to return with a new program.
Featuring a diverse and innovative selection of Palestinian films from around the globe, the festival offers a cinematic journey filled with creative and thought-provoking storytelling.
As part of a flourishing Palestinian film industry, the festival helps facilitate Palestinian cultural expression while strengthening social and economic ties between Palestine, Australia, and the rest of the world.
