Reel Palestine Film Festival UAE
Reel Palestine is an annual film festival in the UAE bringing Palestinian stories in the artistic form of independent and alternative cinema. First held in 2015, Reel Palestine is ever growing as a result of the labor of love driven by the community for sharing stories and heritage primarily through film.

Our Partners: Cinema Akil
|
Since 2016, Reel Palestine has partnered with Cinema Akil, the GCC's only arthouse cinema, as programmatic partners. In 2019, with the official opening of the Cinema Akil space in Alserkal Avenue, it has since become Reel Palestine's home.
Cinema Akil is an independent cinema platform that brings quality films from across the world to the audiences in the UAE. Showcasing directors and filmmakers across the decades, Cinema Akil aims to create awareness and interest in film and the cinematic arts. Launched in 2014 as a nomadic cinema, Cinema Akil has held more than 80 pop-up cinemas attracting over 50,000 attendees in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. |
