Subject: International Video Festival in Ramallah, Palestine

Dear friends,

I am curating a video art festival of International artists to be held in Ramallah this Fall.

There will be no official theater location. Rather, the festival will take place within the homes of the people in Ramallah. People will take the videos home and watch them and then when the curfew is lifted, will pass the video on to the next person,etc. In this way, everyone will have access to the videos and they will be able to be shown around the city.

Unfortunately, we can not guarantee the safe return of your video. If your video is in a house, and Israeli soldiers enter the house, it will more then likely be destroyed.
We welcome all subject matter EXCEPT anything about the Palestinian/ Israeli conflict. The video system there is PAL.

Please contact me at: [email protected]
if you would like to submit your video.

Best,
Emily
