Queer for Palestine – Online Streaming – Test

 

Queer shorts from Palestine and Lebanon by Roy Dib, Raafat Hattab, Jumana Manna, and Mohamed Soueid.

From intimate portrayal to experimental cinema, this program of queer shorts from Palestine and Lebanon examines the intersection of gender and sexual identity with the Palestinian liberation struggle.

 

This event is part of Queer Cinema for Palestine, a collectively-curated 10-day film festival celebrating global queer realities and standing in solidarity with Palestinians. The festival will open its virtual and physical doors from 11-20 November and host more than a dozen events across five continents, both online and in person.

 

Curated by Farah Atoui, Razan ElZein-AlSalah, and CP Associate Programmers Viviane Saglier and Muhammad ElKhairy.
