MCR Palestine Film Festival

The MCR Palestine Film Festival is a not-for-profit organisation established to raise awareness, educate and build respect of Palestinian culture and heritage through the medium of film. ​Our inaugural festival took place between 10th and 31st May 2024. 

​Social media, TV and online footage of Gaza’s devastation over the last few months has given us a glimpse of how Palestinian lives have been shattered. The MCR Palestine Film Festival provides an opportunity to gain a deeper insight into their lives and their decades-long battle for identity and self-determination.​

​Whilst Manchester’s art and culture scene is vibrant, there is space to showcase the rich culture and heritage that Palestinians are proud of. And that is our mission.
