The Bristol Palestine Film Festival has been running since 2011. It takes place every December and showcases an exciting mix of Palestinian films, including documentaries, features and shorts, as well as music and arts events across a range of venues.
The festival returns from 25 November to 6 December 2026 with TESTIMONY, a compelling programme of Palestinian cinema exploring memory, identity, resistance and the power of bearing witness.
The festival opens at Watershed on Wednesday 25 November with American Doctor and closes on Sunday 6 December with Chronicles From the Siege. In between: fiction and documentary films, conversations with filmmakers, live music, poetry, and Palestine Through the Lens, our photography exhibition at The Island, all across five Bristol venues.
