Palestine at TIFF 2024
The past 10 months have underlined the great struggle we face as Palestinians, merely to exist.
Our arts and culture - and our cinema in particular - have long played a fundamental role in protecting our narrative and re- flecting the Palestinian struggle over the past 76 years.
In the context of the current genocide and the ongoing war on the Palestinian identity and narrative, the Palestine Film Institute (PFI) highlights the importance of supporting Palestinian films and narratives in international forums.
In collaboration with the Film Workers for Palestine program @TIFF, the PFI presents the Palestine Showcase, comprised of seven feature-length documentary works-in-progress We invite decision-makers, festival programmers, co-producers and potential collaborators to support these directors, producers and their films-in-the-making to be made, and widely seen. These projects have been selected by an international jury, have received bespoke mentoring from PFI industry consultants and have been supported to access the festival through accreditation, accommodation and travel support.
Palestine Project Showcase
Sunday September 8th, 3:00pm - 4:30pm | Innis Town Hall, University of Toronto (2 Sussex Ave, Toronto)
The projects in the Showcase have each been mentored by PFI and were previously presented at IDFA, Cannes, Sheffield DocFest, and Durban Film Mart. Guests in attendance will be able to request follow-up meetings with the film teams.
We invite you to join us at the Networking Mixer (Sep 8, 4:30p) and Panel Discussion (Sep 8, 5:30-6:30p) following the Showcase!
