2 Documentaries Free to Stream @ Palestinian Film Festival Australia via Vimeo

38565

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.

      I watched each to the end. 7/10.

      I went in with a slightly closed mind, hoping to learn, but expecting that they would probably be propaganda and I'd stop watching fairly quickly.

      I learned interesting history from the 1948 film and I saw a lot of regular people in the Gaza film. It was from the Palestinian "side" so most people were trying to live good lives and improve themselves. But not all.

      These films are not for everyone and thankfully in this free country of Australia no-one is forced to watch.

      "1948" is watchable but I found "Gaza" quite interesting. This is of course just my opinion. YMMV

    I'm very much pro-palestine and anti-israeli occupation. But I fail to see how this qualifies as a bargain.

    Anyway good place to say it, Free Palestine!

    Is this a coincidence or this is a conserved account for posts like this?

      What is that, detective? You drop your tinfoil fedora.

    I'm siding with the Palestinian people on this one (not the hummus terrorists), but I can't believe the number of NPCs calling for mods to ban this topic for discussion and are pro-censorship.

    Without freedom of speech, we risk becoming a police state like communist China/North Korea. Or are those pro-censorship sheeples also in favour of jailing fellow Aussie whistle-blower Julian Assange simply for exposing the war crimes of the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan? The US stopped being a member of the International Criminal Court to save itself from being called a war criminal after being exposed by Julian Assange.

      This isn't about free speech. This is ozbargain, not ozpropaganda.

    • First of all, this is a privately owned public space. So site owners and maintainers reserve the right to limit any content by whatever rules they desire to apply here as long as the content isn't illegal by Australian laws.

      Secondly, it is not against freedom of speech to ask to ban a certain topic of discussion in a privately owned public space and the actual action of doing so is exercising the right for freedom of speech.

      They've always been racists and anti-Semites, the mainstream media just can't effectively run interference for them though when there are events happening on this scale & their opinions, words and actions get held up for everyone to see.

    I wonder how many people who attended the recent pro Palestine protests would have protested the deaths of the Israelis in the initial attack, had Israel not retaliated?

    These people say they are deeply concerned about innocents being killed.

    Let's start the over/under betting at 0.1%

      The other side will be saying the same about you and they'd have the exact same "betting" odds. "I wonder how many people who rallied in support of the Israeli civilians after the attack would have also showed support for the Palestinian civilians who are now also being murdered by their thousands."

        I just can't. All these people throwing random thoughts that they consider deep, insightful, witty.

        "Oh, I bet you wouldn't this and that, because, you know, I think you wouldn't".

        Facepalm with every comment.

    This site is not a place for this type of "bargain"
    I haven't seen this many downvotes for ages too.

  • I am downvoting simply because they always have been free. It's not a bargain or deal at all - similar to other people's experiences.

    Yet more disgusting propaganda which has been available for viewing for free for a long time is posted as a Deal.
