The London Palestine Film Festival (LPFF) returns to cinemas across London from November 15-29, 2024, bringing a powerful lineup of films, performances, and discussions that center on Palestinian culture, politics, and lived experiences.

This year’s festival, co-sponsored by The New Arab, opens with A Grain of Sand, a moving live performance by actress Sarah Agha, directed by Elias Matar, which captures real-life testimonies from Gaza.

Over the two-week event, LPFF will feature a curated selection of films, from feature-length documentaries to short films, showcasing the Palestinian perspective on themes of resilience, survival, and identity.

The festival will close with From Ground Zero, a unique compilation by 22 filmmakers from Gaza who documented their experience of the war, screened across multiple venues.
