Queer Cinema for Palestine is:
A pledge. More than 300 queer filmmakers have pledged not to screen at the pinkwashing, Israeli government-sponsored TLVFest, in response to calls from Palestinian queers.
A global event. This year, Queer Cinema for Palestine, under the slogan “No Pride in Genocide,” has curated a 90-minute program of 8 stellar new short films, to be presented by groups/partners in cities globally during Pride month (June 2025). Register to host a screening! (Deadline May 15 2025)
Queer Cinema for Palestine started as a film festival in 2021 as a solidarity initiative offering artists and arts groups around the world a vibrant space to stand together, using our art to oppose the ongoing violence of Israeli occupation and apartheid against Indigenous Palestinians.
In 2023, Queer Cinema for Palestine hosted “No Pride in Genocide,” in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and across all of historic Palestine and denouncing Israel’s genocidal attacks and ethnic cleansing against millions of Palestinians.
