We invite the academic community to the Palestine Cinema Days Poland at the Lodz Film School, co-organized by the Student Council. The screenings will take place on November 3rd, from 4:00 pm.
The event will take place in two cinemas: the Screening Room in the building H and the School Cinema in Rectorate, between 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
"While international media, world leaders, and major social media platforms continue to censor and distort the narrative, fueling the dehumanization of Palestinians and their ongoing suffering, we are using our channels to support the Palestine Cinema Days Festival, which was forcibly canceled due to the war in Gaza, and whose next edition was to take place in October 2023 in Palestine.
On November 2nd, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, over 700 screenings of Palestinian films will take place around the world, including in Poland. This global endeavor is an expression of solidarity with Palestine and the Palestinian people in the face of the ongoing genocide, an act of empowering the censored voices of Palestinians, and a contribution to changing this distorted narrative".
Each screening will be preceded by an introduction prepared by Jakub Marciniak, editor of the Immersja portal, a graduate of film studies in Lodz and a student of Asian studies, who has recently also been focusing on Arab cinema. The event is intended exclusively for the academic community, people studying or working at universities. Admission to the event is free, but due to the limited number of seats, advance registration via an online form is required.
