The 2023 Palestinian Film Festival Australia has been postponed, and two documentaries from previous years have been made free to stream.

From their website:

The continuing crisis in Occupied Palestine is heartbreaking. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with the innocent and vulnerable people caught up in this latest war. This is not the time to hold a film festival. It is time to mourn the dead, pay our respects to those suffering and work together to bring an immediate end to the ongoing atrocities against innocent civilians. It is for these reasons, we have decided to postpone the 2023 Palestinian Film Festival Australia.

In an effort to promote an increased understanding of what is happening in Occupied Palestine, the Palestinian Film Festival Australia is making two documentaries, 1948: Creation & Catastrophe and Gaza, screened at previous Palestinian film festivals freely available for all Australians to see.

1948: Creation and Catastrophe by Andy Trimlett and Ahlam Muhtaseb.

Through moving personal recollections of both Palestinians and Israelis, 1948: Creation and Catastrophe reveals the shocking events of the most pivotal year in the most controversial conflict in the world.

Gaza by Garry Keane and Andrew McConnell.

A portrait of a people attempting to lead meaningful lives against the rubble of perennial conflict and going beyond the reach of television news reports to reveal a world rich with eloquent and resilient characters.

      Because it's not "just a free film festival" - it's activism designed to counter the narrative those "triggered" people fervently believe.

      It's something I fully support, and am sick of the lazy and apathetic throwing tantrums every time "politics" is mentioned, but it seems pretty obvious why the anti-Palestine brigade is angry that people are trying to humanise the animals (sadly, their words) they're attempting to eradicate.

            @beltdrive: Palestinian propaganda, at a time of a just war of response and a documentary where a right wing commentator lets looney far left activists hang themselves by their own petard, just by talking, are equivalent in your tiny mind (and anyone else approving of your dullardry - of which it sadly appears there are a few).

              @Bdawg: Didn’t take long for the insults to roll out 🥱 Classic fallback for someone without a substantial argument

              Implying that I’m arguing equivalence of the documentaries’ subject matter is conjecture. Nobody ever said that. I don’t see any use in making this a partisan culture wars argument. The point here is that if a documentary about one thing is acceptable, then a documentary about another is too.

              The implication that Matt Walsh approached his documentary objectively is so laughable that I take it that you made it in bad faith. Let’s be real: his documentary is also propaganda. It was made to argue his own beliefs. The footage that was included and the footage they was omitted was decided by whether or not the footage helps his argument or not

              Taking umbrage with documentaries about Palestine when Israel is at war with Hamas indicates a lack of understanding about the conflict altogether

          The TV told me everything

          Have you noticed how whatever language / labels / words, ….
          the TV or newspapers use,
          it is the same language people use again ?

          We hardly deviate from their script,…which has been 'prescribed' to everyone.

          That's a very powerful way to plant words and thoughts into a population,
          if the vocabulary we use was chosen for us, rather than something we consciously come up with.

          If knowledge is power,
          then those who control your knowledge, control your power too.

            @whyisave: Do you just use words you've never heard/read in your speech, even when you haven't heard them in context? Do you prefer to speak in Olde English?

            Of course people are going to communicate in ways/with words as they see others do. That's literally how we learned as children. To branch out too far in any direction risks you being unintelligible like someone who speaks Olde English or exclusively in TikTok memes

            If you feel your language is being controlled to influence your thoughts, consider picking up another language

            Words are not chosen for us, they are dynamic with meanings that change over time. We create them as we need and change them at a whim (like with the word "literally")

            • whyisave on 18/10/2023 - 14:12

              @SpainKing:

              If you feel your language is being controlled to influence your thoughts, consider picking up another language

              wow…so Communist is the reply.

              Words are not chosen for us

              I'm saying exactly that,
              when we consume the news
              and or other forms of curated / edited content.
              Curation = chosen for.

              Watch George Carlin's "soft language",
              and you'll get the idea of how language is used to shape thoughts.

              (Example: even the words you use can shape your own thoughts,
              eg. if you're always using positive words you can enact positive thoughts,
              and vice-versa.
              Neuro-Linguistic Programming is doing similar things too,
              and it's how motivational speakers cut through to people )

                @whyisave: I appreciate you getting back to me, I was just voicing my own opinion because I've had similar thoughts in the past. Unfortunately there's not really much research according to this:

                "2.1 Testing the Linguistic Relativity Hypotheses

                In light of the vast literature on linguistic relativity hypotheses, one would expect that a good deal of careful experimental work had been done on the topic. It hasn't. Often the only evidence cited in favor of such hypotheses is to point to a difference between two languages and assert that it adds up to a difference in modes of thought. But this simply assumes what needs to be shown, namely that such linguistic differences give rise to cognitive differences. On the other hand, refutations of the hypothesis often target implausibly extreme versions of it or proceed as though refutations of it in one domain (e.g., color language and color cognition) show that it is false across the board.

                2.2 Many Versions of the Hypothesis have not been Tested

                A linguistic relativity hypothesis says that some particular aspect of language influences some particular aspect of cognition. Many different aspects of language could, for all we know, influence many different aspects of cognition. This means that a study showing that some particular aspect of language (e.g., the color lexicon of a language) does (or does not) influence some particular aspect of cognition (e.g., recognition memory of colors) does not tell us whether other aspects of language (e.g., the lexicon for spatial relations) influence other aspects of cognition (e.g., spatial reasoning). It does not even tell us whether the single aspect of language we focused on affects any aspects of thought besides the one we studied, or whether other aspects of language influence the single aspect of thought we examined.

                The point here is not merely a theoretical one. When the mind is seen as all of a piece, whether it's the result of stepping through Piaget's universal stages of development, the output of universal learning mechanisms, or the operation of a general-purpose computer, confirming or disconfirming the hypothesis in one area (e.g., color) might bear on its status in other areas. But there is increasing evidence that the mind is, to at least some degree, modular, with different cognitive modules doing domain specific work (e.g., parsing syntax, recognizing faces) and processing different kinds of information in different kinds of ways. If this is right, there is less reason to expect that findings about the influence of language on one aspect of cognition will generalize to other aspects."

                Sorry it's so long, it said it better than I could though

                wow…so Communist is the reply.

                I wasn't at all implying you were a Communist. I was saying you should learn a new language because a large part of linguistic relativity is about how different cultures speak different languages, which may influence the way they think/culture. Learning's also just good for you

                I'm saying exactly that,
                when we consume the news
                and or other forms of curated / edited content.
                Curation = chosen for.

                With some stories I'm sure you're right, the editor gets involved and changes words that would be too inflammatory. The words chosen/not chosen still had an organic creation/evolution of meaning, and choosing one doesn't mean the other doesn't exist any more. It still exists to ponder ideas with

                New meanings can be prescribed to words and new words can be created for concepts so it would be very difficult to limit thinking. Some just fall out of favour or change over time (hence me bringing up Olde English before). Before Isaac Newton theorised gravity he had no word for it, he still managed to form it in to an idea though

                @jv: Deflection? deflecting dead children and innocents, is that you Israel?

                Shooting hamas and killing civs in the crossfire, is that you Israel?

                Lying and contorting stories that put Israel into a bad light and blaming others every chance they can, is that you Israel?

                    @jv: When Israel is accused - "We must investigate it, biased claims, IDF claims it is untrue, we must believe Israel"

                    When Hamas is accused - "We must carpet bomb the gaza strip, there are no innocents in gaza"

                    I ask however, can you provide me the evidence of the decapitated babies? a source please? or did the news just believe the israelis like you believed the news? Blindly

        IDF claims the rockets were fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
        I take all claims with a pinch of salt, and it was most likely an accident, but if any of those groups would deliberately bomb a hospital, it is PIJ.

          More likely to be the group that kill innocent people at a music festival, take and kill hostages and then gloat about it by posting the videos….

      Please don't spread misinformation. There's no certainty yet as both sides are blaming each other.

      Wow so many negging this? Who knew we had so many terrorist sympathisers in Australia? It's actually shocking imo anyone taking the side of either the Zionist or the Terrorist should be deported from Australia as a threat to national security. Simple as that.

        The Australian government should be deported as a threat to national security? What on earth are you going on about?

      The Anglican Church running the hospital confirmed it was an air strike. An IDF account confirmed they hit a hospital that they suspected Hamas to be near in a tweet (x). That tweet was quickly deleted but not before it was saved.

      It was an Israeli air strike.

      If you still don't believe me, there is video of it watch it, it is very very clear from the video it's an air strike.

      Don't believe the lies on CNN. Do you own research.

      • Charlieeee on 18/10/2023 - 13:08

        The supposed "IDF Account" you're referring to is "Hananya Naftali". He is not an IDF Spokesman despite what has been spread around, he is a journalist. He has since retracted his tweet. He isn’t an official source for confirmation of attacks. He literally based his very preemptive post on a Reuters news article and jumped to conclusions.

        And yes, there are videos. They show the rocket being fired from Palestinian territory and striking the hospital. Not sure how you've deduced that Israel has somehow fired a rocket from deep within Palestine.

          How do you explain the Anglican Church confirming it was an airstrike? The organization that ran the hospital….

          Were you there? They were.

          Also that video you saw was time stamped BEFORE the attack took place. Watch the actual correct video….

          Stop watching CNN ffs.
