🇵🇸 Palestine Cinema | Palestine Cinema movie database
In 2013 a few movie lovers concerned with the plight of Palestinians, decided to make a database containing references to movies that show their real situation. Because who are those Palestinians? And how come they have to live in their home country - now largely Israel - as second-hand citizens or under military occupation, or as refugees elsewhere? Much is known, especially in the West, about the background of the origin of the state of Israel, but not about the consequences the establishment of this state had - and still has - for the original inhabitants: the Palestinians. In addition, Israel is conducting a successful PR war against the Palestinians in all kinds of media, including movies, in which the roles have been reversed with Israel as the victim and ‘them’ as the perpetrators. So, we thought it was high time to give more space to the Palestinian vision, including through the medium of film.
