Houston Palestine Film Fest
The second annual Houston Palestine Film Festival (HPFF) brings an honest and independent view of Palestine and its diaspora’s society, culture, and political travails through the art of film. This group of groundbreaking cinematic texts rises above the degrading stereotypes or reductively politicized depictions that are so familiar to Houstonians. A major goal of the Festival is to directly expose our local community to the perspective of artists as a first step toward circumventing the many government and media filters that pollute our understanding of Palestine and the wider region.
The film festival will take place in May, spanning 6 nights and 2 venues. There will be receptions on the opening and closing nights, and several directors and other guests will be in attendance for post-film discussion. Also, this year the Houston Palestine Film Festival is featuring Iraq in the night of shorts.
The Houston Palestine Film Festival is especially honored to have KPFT as a co-sponsor and supporter for the second year in a row. There will be an Open Journal about the film festival on the opening day, which will include interviews from directors from 2007 and 2008 as well as organizers of the festival. Also, unconfirmed but planned are interviews with directors and organizers on various shows in KPFT.
