Chicago Palestine Film Festival

The Chicago Palestine Film Festival is an annual film festival begun in 2002 in Chicago and is one of the most important venues in the US for the screening of Palestinian cinema. It accepts works in a variety of genres — documentaries, dramas, comedies — in both long and short formats. Although the organizers "are especially interested in work by Palestinian filmmakers,...nationality is not a selection criteria."
During the first festival, movies were shown for free at the Preston Bradley Center in Uptown. Subsequent festivals have been held at various locations throughout the city, and screenings are no longer free.
Directors and actors often appear at the festival and discuss their movies with the audience after the screening. In addition, speakers often appear to discuss matters related to Palestine, Israel, the art of filmmaking, and the challenges of being an émigré artist.
