NOR:Toronto Film Festival

Come to NOR:Toronto Film Festival! Narratives of Resistance (NOR) has curated a rare program to show the daily life under displacement, understanding that every refugee looks different and have their own problems, but should still be shown humanity.

​With help from The Collective Arts Brewery, the festival will screen 7 short films and documentaries from the Palestine Film Institute and Nakba FilmWorks. Each film will be followed by a short discussion, and postcards from artists living in Gaza will be available to buy.

​For the past year, Narratives of Resistance (NOR) has organised over 7 film fundraisers and raised around $12,000 USD with collaborators worldwide. Everything raised has been donated to community aid initiatives for Palestine, and directly to Palestinian families themselves.
