We’re pleased to announce that the Bristol Palestine Film Festival is returning to Arnolfini this year.

The cancellation of two of our events last year led to an artist-led boycott of the Arnolfini. Following a rigorous mediation process, the Arnolfini released a public apology in May 2024, acknowledging their mistakes and committing to policies and practices in support of freedom of expression.

As part of this ongoing commitment, Arnolfini has recently started a programme of awareness training with Sally Azzam, a Palestinian BPFF trustee, in partnership with Bridges for Communities. We’re heartened by this step towards building a deeper understanding of Palestinian experiences.

Our opening event, From Ground Zero (30 Nov, 14:00 at Arnolfini), an uncompromising testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people, is a potent way to launch this journey of shared understanding.

Join us at the Arnolfini and our other partner venues for a powerful programme that celebrates Palestinian voices.
