The Boston Palestine Film Festival (BPFF) is now accepting entries for its fifth annual festival to be held in October of 2011.
BPFF seeks to present the extraordinary narrative of a dispossessed people living in exile, under military occupation and siege, and within Israel. Palestinian cinema represents a powerful means of interpreting the collective identity, historic struggle, and surreal life circumstances and challenges that Palestinians presently face.
