SHASHAT’S 1st WOMEN FILM
FESTIVAL IN PALESTINE
September 22 to September 29,
2005
“SHASHAT’s
Women’s Film Festival in Palestine” is not a traditional
film festival. Its objectives and the presence of films and
guests are seen as an impetus to public awareness of women’s
creativity and the implications of representations of women.
The festival will take place from September 22 to September
29, 2005 in three cities – Ramallah, Nablus and Bethlehem.
The festival
will focus its outreach to the general public and the
Palestinian filmmaking community in general as well as the
woman’s filmmaking community in particular. It will be
proactive in concentrating special outreach to non-traditional
movie-going audiences such as university students, refugee camp
dwellers and high school children in order to expose them to
women’s cinema and women’s point-of-view. We hope to stimulate
public discussion of the themes of the films.
