Pavilion for Palestine at Cannes Film Festival

Palestinian director Rashid Abdullah said that the presence of a pavilion for Palestine in was very important, as it is important that we have a body that represents Palestinian cinema and establish contacts and relations, and 40 to 50 Palestinian directors will meet in the middle of the festival.

The Cannes Festival is used to selecting a Palestinian film every year, such as “Omar” by Hani Abu Asaad, Rashid Mashharawi’s films, and “A Divine Hand” by Palestinian director Elia Suleiman, which won the jury prize at Cannes.

The Palestinian Film Foundation and the Palestinian Ministry of Culture have supported this Palestinian cinema presence, which witnesses the holding of film screenings and seminars on the future of the film industry in Palestine.
The coordinator of the Palestinian Ministry of Culture, Lina Bukhari, says that our permanent presence in the festival is important, but this pavilion supports the reunification of Palestinian filmmakers who participate from different parts of the world.
The importance of the Shakan Festival comes because it represents a major forum and gateway to Europe, which constitutes a large market for Palestinian films.
