In 2023, Film Lab Palestine had to postpone their Palestine Cinema Days festival. Instead of celebrating cinema in Palestine, they brought Palestine to the world in 86 cities, across 139 venues, spanning 41 countries. November 2nd marks the day the Balfour Declaration was signed, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices, we are joining Palestine Cinema Days Around The World and are screening Naila And The Uprising directed by Julia Bacha​.

Alongside the film screening Fairtrade Palestine will be selling a variety of products from the West Bank, and we will have anti-colonial, liberation and encampment advice zines available via rot shop to copy and print your own selection from. There will also be silkscreen solidarity shirts from Video for sale. All donations for the zines and shirts will go directly to two families in Gaza, and grassroots mutual aid initiative The Sanabel Team.
