October 4 - October 12, Cambridge, MA, USA.  The Boston Palestine Film Festival (BPFF) was established to showcase the extraordinary narrative of Palestinians through the medium of cinema to audiences in the New England area. This festival features a range of compelling and thought-provoking documentaries, dramatic features, rare early works, and new films by emerging artists. These films from international directors bring an honest, self-described, and independent view of Palestine and its diasporic society, culture, and political travails. While, the primary cinematic program of the festival occurs in October each year over a 9-10 day period, this initiative is envisioned as an ongoing program of smaller cultural events, talks and screenings held throughout the year. In this way the festival seeks to engage local audiences and sustain Palestinian arts and culture in the city throughout the year as part of its linkage with Tawassul. In the long run BPFF seeks to develop additional programs and events to increase the visibility of Palestinian films in the area, support emerging Palestinian filmmakers, and partner with other such festivals in the US and worldwide. The Boston Palestine Film Festival is a program of the Middle East Charitable and Cultural Society Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization. The festival is sponsored by Tawassul, an organization committed to sharing and celebrating Palestinian arts and culture.
