Palestine Cinema Days West Philadelphia

As international news outlets, world leaders, and major social media platforms are engaging in censorship and distorting the narrative, all while perpetuating the dehumanization of Palestinians and their enduring suffering, we extend our channels in support of "Palestine Cinema Days" Festival, forcibly canceled.

On the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, observed on November 2nd, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices, we are screening Stitching Palestine directed by Carol Mansour at 7:00 p.m. at Scribe Video Center, Philadelphia PA USA . The screening is free of charge.

After the screening we will have a discussion facilitated by Amadee Braxton of Dragonfly Partners.

STITCHING PALESTINE (2017) a film by Carol Mansour

3908 Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104

Presented in partnership with: BlackStar, Multitude Films, Cinespeak, Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival and Philadelphia Latino Arts & Film Festival.

About the film: Twelve resilient, determined and articulate women from disparate walks of life: lawyers, artists, housewives, activists, architects, and politicians stitch together the story of their homeland, of their dispossession, and of their unwavering determination that justice will prevail. Through their stories, the individual weaves into the collective, yet remaining distinctly personal. Twelve women, twelve life-spans and stories from Palestine; a land whose position was fixed on the map of the world, but is now embroidered on its face.
