NEWS RELEASE | For Immediate Release | Thursday Oct 19, 2023
The Witness Palestine Film Festival is pleased to announce that our 2023 program will proceed as scheduled through a virtual platform. Contrary to the press release issued by The Little Theatre on October 17th, the festival is not postponed, and we look forward to welcoming viewers to watch this year’s program online. It is our firm belief that postponing the festival at this critical moment in history would contribute to the silencing of Palestinian voices, when it is more important than ever that these voices are heard.
We are deeply troubled by the threats of violence received by The Little Theatre, which were a clear attempt at censorship of both the Theatre and of the Witness Palestine Film Festival. As communities across the globe face similar attempts at censorship, we reaffirm our commitment to fulfilling our mission as witnesses of the Palestinian experience.
In order to register to attend one of our virtual screenings, please visit wpff.us. Each screening will be followed by a moderated Q&A with the filmmaker on Zoom. Feel free to email us at media@rw4p.us for additional inquiry.
