The Palestine House London Film & Arts Festival is an independent cultural festival dedicated to celebrating Palestinian cinema, art, storytelling, and resistance through film, music, dialogue, and community gathering.
Held in the heart of London at Palestine House, the festival creates space for Palestinian voices across genres, generations, and geographies — from Gaza to the diaspora and beyond.
The festival was founded by three artists\ filmmakers and cultural organizers: one Palestinian, one Lebanese, and one American, united through a shared commitment to cinema, cultural preservation, artistic freedom, and collective memory.
We welcome films that explore:
Palestinian life, identity, memory, resistance, exile, return, and survival
Arab and SWANA narratives connected to Palestine
Experimental, personal, political, and boundary-pushing cinema
Stories of displacement, liberation, migration, and belonging
Human stories that challenge erasure and deepen understanding
We believe cinema can act as an archive, witness, interruption, and gathering place.
