The Nazra Palestine Short Film Festival is an annual, traveling and multicultural festival on freedom, human rights and justice, with a special focus on the contemporary reality in Palestine.
Nazra is the look, the perception we have of others, but also of ourselves. Thus, the Nazra Palestine Short Film Festival also becomes a pedagogical and cultural journey.
Also in its 5th edition, the main goal of the Festival is to show the problems and the expectations daily experienced by the Palestinians who live under occupation and in the absence of freedom and respect for human rights.

The Nazra Palestine Short Film Festival also aims to be an opportunity, for authors with great artistic skills but lacking sufficient financial resources, to express their voices and showcase their art. The selection of the best short films for each category will be screened in the Italian and Palestinian cities hosting the Festival.

Awards:
Best fiction on Palestine 500,00 Euros
Best documentary on Palestine 500,00 Euros
Experimental: animation / video clips / video art / very short / other on Palestine 500,00 Euros
Best Reportage "Gaze on Gaza" (on Gaza and all Palestine) 500,00 Euros (special award "Vittorio Arrigoni")

    Very pleased that our film thepianistofyarmouk.com was part of this important festival and its wonderful selection of films. Especially honoured that as well as taking place in Venice, Rome and other Italian cities, the festival is also happening in Palestine. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it!
