Cinema has been the driving force to place the Palestinian identity on the world map.

An increasing number of Palestinian films are being nominated in film festivals across the globe. The narrative of each director continues to instil hope into the Palestinian collective consciousness.

The Educational Bookshop takes the responsibility of connecting this global success with the homeland, providing a full collection of Palestinian films and music - for all of you to enjoy. Part of our duty to support our local artists and film makers is expressed through this service.

"Palestinian cinema provides a visual alternative, a visual articulation, a visible incarnation of Palestinian existence in the years since 1948, the year of the destruction of Palestine, and the dispersal and dispossession of the Palestinians; and a way of resisting an imposed identity on Palestinians as terrorists, as violent people, by trying to articulate a counter-narrative and a counter-identity. These films represent a collective identity." Edward Said 2003
