Houston Palestinian Film Festival 2008 |
|
|
|
 2nd annual Houston Palestine Film Festival.
This exciting festival, cosponsored by The Station Museum, Rice Cinema, Museum of Fine Arts – Houston, KPFT Houston and many others, will bring cutting edge new cinema from Palestine and about Palestine. The second annual Houston Palestine Film Festival brings an honest and independent view of Palestine, its diaspora, 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. The festival aims 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. |
