No Pride in Genocide

Free entrance: first come, first served. Presented in collaboration with Regards palestiniens.

Queer Cinema for Palestine (QCP)announces No Pride in Genocide, a global film event, co-organized by the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) and 50+ partners in 25 countries, from China to Ecuador.

Queer Cinema for Palestine began as an alternative ethical space for filmmakers who pulled or refused to show their work in the Israeli government-sponsored TLVFest LGBTQ Film Festival. Over the past six years, hundreds of filmmakers have shown their solidarity in response to the boycott call from queer and trans Palestinians. As Israel continues its genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, the West Bank, and across historic Palestine, we condemn this violence and stand in solidarity with Palestinians.

Israel continues to attempt to instrumentalize our identities as queer and trans people to justify its genocide against Palestinians, including murdering, blackmailing, and imprisoning queer and trans Palestinians. Accordingly, our festival will take place during June 2025, the month that marks Pride in many countries worldwide. We do so to continue our refusal of Israel’s pinkwashing. This year’s program focuses on the work of queer, Palestinian, and allied artists, across locales, in historic Palestine and the diaspora, identities, lengths, styles and genres (doc-hybrid, experimental, fiction, and animation) to highlight art’s position in resistance and the struggle for liberation.
