Palestine in Film: A Guide and an Annotated Filmography
http://www.adc.org/fileadmin/ADC/Pdfs/Palestine_in_Film.pdf
This guide and filmography provides a brief outline of Palestinian film production and distribution and points readers towards the films themselves, towards commentary on the films, towards film institutions, and towards other sources of information. The films listed here were made by Palestinians, or are about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, or about matters related to Palestine. Some are well-known films; others are largely unknown. This introductory guide is by no means complete, but can be a gateway into the world of Palestinian film -- a starting point for casual viewers, serious students, educators, academics, filmmakers, and advocates for a just peace.
