The Free Palestine International Film Festival is being held in London.  The festival highlights the Palestinian narrative, which is often sidelined in mainstream Western cinema, and focuses on Palestinian stories and their resilience against Israeli oppression and occupation from the filmmakers' perspectives. 

Wafa Jamil, with the Nordic Palestine Film Festival, told reporters in the British capital: "A world of motion pictures to dive into with compelling stories often left out in mainstream cinema, against a backdrop of a war of narratives, a venue to tell different stories about Palestinians and their decades of struggle for freedom and justice.  I believe so much in the impact and how firms as a tool, we can invest it and to create a good and powerful impact about Palestinian issue."

From documentaries to shorts to animated movies to feature length films, the Free Palestine International Film Festival in London showcases the faith, resilience and lifestyle of Palestinians, and also their ideal for a free Palestine.

Western media outlets, having been colonized by Israel, misrepresent the truth about the struggle for the Liberation of Palestine.

Some of the films and documentaries include:

'An Orange from Jaffa.'  It chronicles how trouble begins when a young Palestinian desperately looks for a taxi to take him through an Israeli security checkpoint.

'Hostage Economy' delves into the deep rooted barriers entrenched within Palestinian society aimed at disabling meaningful economic growth.

As well as drama, there is animation.

'Before Heaven' profiles children's paintings on the walls of a house that its new Israeli occupier decides to paint over.

One running theme is the desire to return home.

'Long running' depicts a Palestinian woman who fled to Syria in 1948 for fear of her life as Israel massacred Palestinians.

A three-day festival of Palestinian stories that move, resonate and inspire.
