The BPFF shorts programme is a night packed with a selection of compelling short films from different genres, including animation, documentary, and comedy. Held at the Bristol Palestine Museum & Cultural Centre, it displays the talent of Palestinian filmmakers and their interrogation of their identity, culture and struggle for freedom.
Our shorts programme this year consists of seven films: By the Sea, The Living of the Pigeons, Mariam, TAQI, Night, Siri Miri and Wifi Rider.
