Overview

The DC-PFAF is the first film festival in Washington, D.C. to focus entirely on Palestinian filmmakers. Run by volunteers, the DC-PFAF is organized by the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN-DC). [2] The festival was established in order to showcase "stories that reflect the dynamic formation of a transnational identity common to Palestinians and diasporic communities more generally."[2]
