2016 DC Palestinian Film + Arts Festival in Washington

The sixth annual DC Palestinian Film + Arts Festival will run October 5-9, 2016. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for the full program!

The DCPFAF showcases the work of Palestinian artists in Palestine and in diaspora. The stories shared in this festival are not necessarily about the Palestinian experience in relation to the Israeli occupation and apartheid, nor are the stories necessarily about Palestinians. They are stories told by Palestinians that reflect the dynamic formation of a transnational identity common to Palestinians and diasporic communities in general. The festival also aims to bring DC’s various communities together through art, and catalyze invigorating and productive discussions about film and culture, utilizing the lens of Palestinians filmmakers as an entry point.
