Sheffield PSC
cinemaPalestino, every Thursday in May!
cinemaPalestino is a season of films exploring issues that effect us all - falling in love, making a home, caring for a family, freedom- but under th4e shadow of a military occupation that distorts all aspects of daily life for the Palestinian people. cinemaPalestino is a celebration of Palestinian culture through drama and documentary film – despite 60 years of unimaginable oppression, Palestinians have retained a vital, creative and powerful identity. Join us in our celebrations!
This is a collaboration between Sheffield PSC, YPCE and the Showroom Cinema
