The Toronto Palestine Film Festival
(October 25-November 1, 2008)

As conceived by Palestine House, the Festival is an important component of the year-long activities commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Nakba. Cinema represents a powerful means for visually interpreting the collective identity and historic struggle of the Palestinian people. The Festival will present in film the extraordinary narrative of a dispossessed people living in exile or under Israeli occupation.

The main objectives of the festival are to highlight the Palestinian narrative and to introduce the rich variety of historic and contemporary Palestinian film to a broad Canadian audience.
