[English] Palestine Cinema Days Poland 2026 From 1 to 4 November 2026, the Polish edition of Palestine Cinema Days will take place for the third time. This international showcase of Palestinian cinema brings audiences around the world together each year around Palestinian stories, memory and lived experience. This year’s edition of Palestine Cinema Days is once again taking place at a particularly significant moment, coinciding with the 109th anniversary of the signing of the Balfour Declaration (2 November). As part of this global event, more than 1,000 screenings will take place around the world. It is an opportunity to discover cinema that rarely reaches Polish distribution—from classics of world cinema, through internationally acclaimed documentary films, to the latest short films telling stories about Palestine from the perspective of its people. For decades, Palestinian cinema has been more than a record of reality. It has been a way of preserving memory, telling one’s own story in one’s own voice and images, and reclaiming the right to one’s own narrative. Today, in a time of a fragile ceasefire, as the world slowly turns its attention elsewhere, we are reminded of how easily Palestine can disappear from media headlines, while its people continue to experience unimaginable losses. At this moment, the need for these stories is particularly urgent. Palestine Cinema Days is not only a film showcase, but also a global act of solidarity with Palestine and Palestinian filmmakers. From 1 to 4 November, we will meet in cinemas and cultural spaces across Poland to watch films, listen to Palestinian voices, and remind ourselves together that cinema is more than an art form—it is presence, memory, a form of resistance and an act of solidarity. 4/6
