Leeds Palestinian Film Festival

Launching in 2015, Leeds Palestinian Film Festival (LPFF) is a city-wide, multi-venue festival, screening fiction, non-fiction and short films that shine a light on Palestine and the Palestinian people, challenging one-dimensional views of Palestinians

We’ve been proud to work with LPFF every year since its inception because hosting festivals allows us to present a broader range of film work alongside our (relatively) mainstream new release programming which is dominated by films which have secured UK distribution and are largely English language or Eurocentric. Whilst wonderful, these new releases often exclude large volumes of amazing film work especially that made by marginalised filmmakers or representing the experiences of marginalised communities. Festival collaborations allow us to push against this, centring the stories people wish and need to share about their lives.
