The Nordic Palestinian Film Festival (NPFF) is founded by filmmakers who advocate for justice in Palestine and recognize the significant role of cinema in society.

We believe that audiences find it easier to engage with human stories through films rather than news or reports broadcast on TV.

NPFF is a non-profit, non-political, and non-religious organization.

The festival aims to raise awareness in the Nordic countries about the history and culture of Palestine, fostering cultural exchange between Nordic communities and Palestinians.
Our goal is to introduce Nordic peoples, Palestinian culture.

NPFF aims to organize film festivals in major cities in Sweden and across the Nordic countries.

The festival will also bring together diaspora Nordic and Palestinian cultural workers such as film directors, musicians, and poets to connect through Palestinian culture.

Proceeds from NPFF will support young filmmakers in Palestine, especially those in Gaza, to develop their film projects.

NPFF also seeks to represent Palestinians, along with other minorities living in Nordic cities, as valuable contributors to modern social and cultural life.

We at Sard Films AB proudly utilize film as a powerful tool for social change, fostering dialogue, understanding, and impact through storytelling.

Selected films will be screened in cinemas across the Nordic region.
