About Queer Cinema for Palestine

QCP is a global film event co-organized by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and more than 200 partners, from China to Ecuador. QCP will include 110 screenings in 34 countries, hosted by queer, solidarity, activist, Indigenous and arts organizations, independent theatres, university departments, libraries, Pride events and film festivals.

Taking place during Pride month in many countries worldwide, the third edition of QCP aims to expose and fight Israel’s pinkwashing of its atrocities against Palestinians, including Israel’s Gaza genocide, and highlight a growing number of queer networks and Pride organizations ending complicity in Israel’s crimes. This year’s 90-minute program and filmmaker Q&A focuses on the work of queer, Palestinian, and allied artists, in historic Palestine, across the diaspora, and beyond. The program features a diverse mix of identities, lengths, styles, and genres (doc-hybrid, experimental, fiction, and animation) to highlight the key role of art in resistance and the struggle for liberation.

From Aotearoa to South Korea, Turtle Island to Pakistan, Slovenia to Palestine, hundreds of QCP partners are saying, “There is no pride in genocide.”
