'Mother is A Homeland' explores how family becomes an inner sanctuary, built and sustained through hard choices: a mother shielding her child against blackmail, a pregnant woman wrestling with the intimacy of new life amid her homeland's devastation, a daughter building a mythology to survive loss and her surroundings. A brother charts a sacred journey to complete his sibling's uncompleted dream, a son stitches together an identity across continents, a young man navigates the complex warmth of a home that won't let him go. These are not just stories, but family recipes for survival, the ingredients of what makes a homeland.

A talented young filmmaker tells the story of his country with compassion, beauty, and warmth in this honest, straight and raw first-person account of the war in Gaza in the summer of 2014.

While the recurring violence continues to make news worldwide, the stories behind these horrific events remain hidden. Not this one.

'To Map a Memory' undertakes the urgent cartography of Palestinian memory not as a passive recollection but an active resistance. A young woman charts her identity through her uncle's poems and a girl escapes her reality into a dreamlike afternoon. Filmmakers reconstruct their ancestor's home in digital space or re-map colonial archival footage to expose erasure. The internet becomes a chaotic terrain of witnessing, the body itself a territory marked by trauma, and a hospital waiting room, a site of alienation. This program reveals a landscape of works against forgetting, each one a coordinate in the enduring geography of a people.

Samy, 12, takes us on a trip of a day and a night accompanied by his uncle and his two-year older cousin in search for his missing bird. His neighbours told him it might have returned to its original home. The journey runs from a refugee camp in the West Bank to different Palestinian cities including Bethlehem, Old Jerusalem and Haifa. Through their journey—and all that happens to and between them—we uncover the absurdity and wit of reality, along with the impact these experiences have on their characters and their relationships with themselves and others.

'Future is Present' traces how the Palestinian future is being built now: in the friction of a checkpoint, the weight of inherited fear, and the visceral reality of war for deaf children. This future is also shaped by the everyday refusals that persist in the face of these pressures: the moments of joy that defy military control, the persistent clarity of childhood, the raw courage to confront horror, and the profound strength to rebuild from immense loss. These works prove that the future is not a vague probability, but a present-day battleground where its machinery clashes with the will to exist, to persist, and to be free.

In the summer of 1982, the Israeli army invaded Beirut. During this time, it raided the Palestinian Research Center and looted its entire archive. The archive contained historical documents of Palestine, including a collection of still and moving images. Taking this as a premise, 'A Fidai Film' aims to create a counter-narrative to this loss, presenting a form of cinematic sabotage that seeks to reclaim and restore the looted memories of Palestinian history. It’s a poignant exploration of identity, memory, and resistance, told through a unique blend of documentary and experimental filmmaking techniques.
