Screening Films

Mar. 17th, 2010, Mar Elias Palestinian Refugee Camp

Films have an important role to play in expressing our thoughts and recording our daily reality. They allow us to become familiar with other people’s cultures and give us the chance to benefit from other people’s experiences and knowledge especially when the opportunity to travel to distant lands is limited. Film also has a role to play in developing people’s artistic sensibilities, especially for marginalized youth who generally do not have the tools to develop their technical and expressive abilities.

  • To provide screening opportunities for films made by youth from the camps
