POETRY ON PALESTINE
Bristol Palestine Film Festival is teaming up with Bristol’s dynamic live poetry night Raise the Bar for an evening of spoken word, film and discussion in support of Palestine, on the 75th anniversary of the Nakba, and in response to the recent attacks on Gaza. The event will be headlined by rapper and activist Lowkey with an acapella spoken word performance, as well as a lineup of Palestinian poets and writers including Hind Shoufani and Selma Dabbagh.
At all events we will be selling festival merch, artwork and unique products designed by talented Palestinian creatives. This year all profits will go to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). In addition all donations received by BristolPFF, through HeadFirst or at screenings, will be passed directly to MAP.
