Screening of Palestinian cinema in solidarity with Palestine, part of the Palestine Cinema Days platform and in association with Swansea Creatives for Palestine.
Palestine Cinema Days Around the World comes to Volcano Theatre on Wednesday 4 November, with the screening starting at 7pm. It's a local part of a much larger global event: more than 1,000 screenings of Palestinian cinema taking place around the world, all organised by FilmLab Palestine to mark the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.
The Swansea screening is presented in association with Swansea Creatives for Palestine, so it's a local collaboration rather than a touring production. The wider project is described as a platform that connects communities through Palestinian cinema, and the sheer scale of it — over a thousand screenings across different countries — puts the one night at Volcano into a broader context. It's less a standalone film night and more a small part of a global show of solidarity.
FilmLab Palestine frames the whole thing as an act of amplification for censored Palestinian voices and a contribution to shifting a distorted narrative. That's the core of it: bringing Palestinian cinema to screens where it might not otherwise be seen, and doing so as part of a coordinated effort rather than in isolation. The Swansea screening is one of those voices being amplified right here in the city.
