KEEP GAZAN VOICES ALIVE – CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN
“Legendary Women in a Time of Genocide” is the theme of the first Gaza International Festival of Women’s Cinema due to take place in October.
The curator Dr Ezzaldeen Shalh writes:
“There are truly legendary women in Gaza. Women capable of confronting extreme levels of atrocity, death, hunger and blockade – with remarkable resilience. Each woman has a story that reflects the depth of the Palestinian narrative”
You can help to make this Festival happen – over 100 people have already donated.
