Four days after TPFF 2023 wrapped up, the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza was launched. Over these 12 months we have witnessed unprecedented live-streamed atrocities. We have also witnessed incredible acts of resilience, heroism, innovation, compassion and solidarity. Over these 12 months, cities across the West Bank have been subjected to devastating attacks by the Israeli army and its settlers, land thefts and property damage, and mass detentions. We have also seen the people in Lebanon driven from their homes, killed and terrorized.

Before the closing screening of the festival, please gather with us in the art exhibition space to mark 1 year of genocide, 76 years of the ongoing Nakba. Through music and poetry, we will commemorate our martyrs and their legacies, we honour the steadfast humanity of Palestinians in Gaza who teach life amidst the carnage, and we re-commit ourselves to continue advocating for justice for Palestinians.
