Witness Palestine Film Festival 2018


*The event has already taken place on this date: Mon, 10/29/2018
SUMUD, STEADFAST RESISTANCE: Sumud is Arabic for “steadfastness” or “steadfast perseverance.” Through this theme our seventh Festival honors Palestinians who have persevered under oppression in daily life for – how long? When would you like to start counting? We stand steadfastly with those who have lived with injustice. We hope you’ll attend our programs this year.

The Witness Palestine Film Festival is sponsored by Christians Witnessing for Palestine, who seek a just peace for the people of Palestine wherever they may be. They have all traveled to Israel and Palestine on at least one political tour where they have met with and heard stories from both sides.

This film festival is an attempt to communicate some of this information to others in the Rochester and Western New York area by working with a broader, more diverse segment of the community. The Witness Palestine Film Committee includes activists involved in interfaith and Palestinian solidarity work.
