PALESTINE FILM INDEX

Palestine Film Index is a growing list of films from and about Palestine and the Palestinian struggle for liberation, made by Palestinians and those in solidarity with them. The index starts with films from the revolutionary period (68 - 82) made by the militant filmmakers of the Palestine Film Unit and their allies, and extends through a multitude of voices to the present day. It is by no means a complete or exhaustive representation of the vast universe that is Palestinian cinema, but is only a small fragmentary list that we hope nontheless can be used as an instrument of study & solidarity. As tools of knowledge against zionist propaganda and towards Palestinian liberation.

The century long war against Palestinians by the zionist project is one waged not only militarily but also culturally. The act of filmmaking, preservation, and distribution becomes an act against this attempted cultural erasure of ethnic cleansing. The power inherent in this form as a weapon against the genocidal project of zionism is evidenced in the ways it has been historically & currently targeted by the occupation forces: from the looting & stealing of the Palestine Cinema Institute archives during the siege of Beirut in 1982, through the long history of targeted assassinations of Palestinian filmmakers, journalists, artists, & writers (from PFU founder Hani Jawharieh, to Ghassan Kanafani, Shireen Abu Akleh, Refaat Alareer, and the over 100 journalists killed in the currently ongoing war on Gaza).

It is in this spirit of the use of film and culture as a way of focusing & transmitting information & knowledge that we hope this list can be used as one in an assortment of educational tools against hasbara (a coordinated and intricate system of zionist propaganda, media manipulation, & social engineering, etc) and all forms of propaganda that is weaponized against the Palestinian people. Zionist media & its collaborators remain one of the most effective fronts of the war, used to manufacture consent through deeply ingrained psychological manipulation of the general public agency. Critical and autonomous thought must be used as a tool of dismantling these frameworks. In this realm, film can play a vital roll in your toolkit/arsenal. Film must be understood as one front of the greater resistance. We hope in some small way we can help to distribute these manifestations of Palestinian life and the struggle towards liberation.

This list began as small aggregation to share among friends and comrades in 2021 and has since expanded to the current and growing form (it is added to almost every day). We have links for through which each film can be viewed along with descriptions, details such as run time, year, language, etc. We also have a supplemental list of related materials (texts, audio, supplemental video) that is small but growing. We have added information on contacts for distributors and filmmakers of each film in order to help people or groups who are interested in using this list to organize public screenings of these films. The makers of this list do not control the rights to these films and we strongly urge those interested in screening the works to get in touch with the filmmaker or distributors before doing so. This list was made with best intentions in mind, and in most cases with permission of filmmaker or through a publically available link, but if any film has mistakenly been added without the permission of a filmmaker involved and you would like us to remove it, or conversely if you are a filmmaker not included who would like your film to be added, or for any other thoughts, suggestions, additions, subtractions, complaints or concerns, please contact us at palestinefilmindex@gmail.com. No one involved in this list is doing it as a part of any organization, foundation or non-profit and we are not being paid to do this, it is merely a labor of love and solidarity. From the river to the sea, Palestine

Black Skin White Screens

Another email response that I think might be useful here. Person was asking a question about why nobody cites Black film as influences: When Moonlight dropped nobody was talking about Clockers even though there were clear visual and dramatic elements referenced. Instead everyone (the filmmakers, critics, etc) was talking about French and Hong Kong cinema. So people even deny Spike's influence.

But, I think you might be mistaking a symptom for the disease. Tons of Black filmmakers were influenced by nonBlack filmmakers. French Impressionism & German Expressionism influenced Julie Dash; Charles Burnett loved British Kitchen Sink cinema; Bradford Young and I had a great convo about Apichatpong Weerasethakul one time; Haile Gerima almost killed me bc I interrupted a screening of Solaris by one of his GOATS Andrei Tarkovsky 😂 Even John Akomfrah's affective proximity, which AJ loves to employ, is an evolution of Eisenstinian montage.

The difference is that most of these filmmakers were steeped in, trained in, and worked in Black film. They weren't working within the studio system (though Burnett would go on to work with Disney in the 90s). There were Black spaces from Studio Museum in Harlem to Performing Arts Society of Los Angeles. There was public funding for TV that Marlon Riggs, Chamba Productions, etc. were able to take advantage of. Now all of these programs are either severely underfunded or gone completely. I think this is the primary reason: There aren't that many (semi)autonomous Black film/cultural spaces left. And so there's no cultural push for such things. 

All the money and attention is in white spaces. I know some filmmakers who either did a concept short for a feature or are in prepro on their first feature. The people around them have told them that they need to find European equivalents to their Black influences or else the money and attention will dry up. It's a structural thing. Two suggested comparisons that stuck out to me were Bill Gunn & Steven Soderbergh and Kathleen Collins & Maya Deren. These directors are not doing anything close to the other. It's just "scrappy indie director" and "known female director". I guess that's how things are commodified now.

Back in the 90s John Singleton went to Senegal to study under Ousmane Sembène. Part of the conversation is in Manthia Diawara's Sembéne: The Making of African Cinema. Diawara screened a bunch of cut footage from this conversation a couple years back but I don't think it's online. So literally 30 years ago there was still a connection to the past. What you're describing is a recent development.

So much of the last decade of Black cinema is animated by liberal identity politics and white guilt. from How They See Us to Birth Of A Nation. Even films that aren't so explicit about the white gaze like Moonlight are still affected by this phenomenon. It's not shocking that it won best picture after #OscarsSoWhite nor is the volume of Black cinema represented that year surprising. I have my suspicions that Barry was affected by the same antiBlack forces my friends are fighting now. He was tweeting about Clockers in the months preceding production. 

The industry is in flux right now + the transition from Obama to Trump (which we're still in btw) are all at play here. Film, especially Black film, is in retreat right now. The best we can do at this moment is be torch bearers of our lineage. I always feel like I'm mopping the ocean but every now and then a legend messages me a thank you or a new subscriber shows their appreciation.

In this climate of "Black firsts" (well firsts in white spaces) it's good to see you articulate how you want to build on the past. Being the Black 101st means that despite colonialism and slavery and Jim Crow and prison and everything else, nothing can stop the force of the Black camera and that should be honoured and celebrated.

review of supersonic 2016: extremely well-made documentary that should serve as a blueprint for any would-be band documentarian. massive chapeau to the director mat whitecross and especially the editor paul monaghan who for two hours managed to make me feel interested and involved in a subject i have zero autonomous desire to explore. genuinely appreciated the story told and the people partaking in it through the great judicious use of archival footage mixed with more recent material. it was a very interesting storytelling choice to end the documentary where it does and not cover the downfall of the band but it also makes sense as that would require covering a much longer period of time as well as a relatively recent one for the people involved — and the choice not to cover the end gives the documentary an eerie quality where people hint at something terrible happening but it is never directly shown. very sensible filmmaking and very masterful editing in service of an interesting and dramatic narrative so elegantly portrayed it seems almost fictional. i have no care at all for the band itself but this is an excellent piece of documentary film which i would recommend to anyone who is interested in the genre and has the ears to stomach the unfortunate-sounding music.

"Indie", short for "independent", is a term that originated as a descriptor of independently produced and distributed content, particularly in the arts and media. It has since evolved into a broad cultural category that applies to creative works—most commonly music, film, video games, and literature—that are produced outside the commercial mainstream, often with limited financial backing, but with a high degree of artistic freedom. Over time, "indie" has come to signify not only a mode of production but also a particular aesthetic, ethos, and cultural identity. This article explores the origins, development, and manifestations of the indie phenomenon across various domains, including its economic structures, cultural implications, and aesthetic principles.

The term "indie" derives from the English word "independent," used in the 20th century to describe businesses, artists, and cultural producers that operated autonomously from dominant commercial or institutional systems. The earliest uses of "indie" as a cultural label appeared in the 1970s and 1980s in the context of the music industry, where independent record labels began to support artists who were not signed to the major recording companies. Over time, the term was applied to other artistic fields as a descriptor for similar grassroots and self-managed forms of cultural production.

Indie music, perhaps the most prominent domain associated with the term, refers to music produced and distributed independently from major commercial record labels. Its roots trace back to the punk rock and post-punk movements of the 1970s in the United Kingdom and the United States. Pioneering labels such as Rough Trade Records (UK), Factory Records (UK), and Dischord Records (US) emerged to support artists who rejected the conventions of mainstream music, both in terms of sound and corporate control.

During the 1980s and 1990s, the indie scene diversified significantly. Sub-genres such as indie rock, lo-fi, college rock, and twee pop gained traction. Bands like R.E.M., Pixies, The Smiths, and Sonic Youth were central to this development. The 2000s saw a global expansion of the indie music ethos with the rise of digital distribution platforms and social media, which allowed independent artists to reach large audiences without traditional gatekeepers.

Indie music is often characterized by a DIY (do-it-yourself) approach to recording, distribution, and performance. Lo-fi production, analog equipment, and intimate lyrical content are frequently cited hallmarks of the genre. Aesthetic values tend to prioritize authenticity, experimentation, and emotional honesty over commercial appeal or technical perfection.

Indie music has had a profound effect on the global music industry, fostering innovation and diversity while challenging traditional industry structures. Economically, it has given rise to a robust ecosystem of small labels, venues, festivals (such as SXSW and Pitchfork Music Festival), and online platforms like Bandcamp and SoundCloud. Culturally, it has influenced mainstream music, fashion, and youth subcultures, contributing to the development of broader movements such as hipsterism and alternative lifestyle branding.

The indie film movement began gaining prominence in the mid-20th century, particularly in opposition to the studio-dominated "Golden Age" of Hollywood. In the United States, filmmakers such as John Cassavetes in the 1950s and 1960s laid the groundwork for independent cinema by self-financing personal and experimental films. The 1980s and 1990s saw the emergence of a flourishing indie film scene supported by festivals such as Sundance, Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), and Cannes' Directors’ Fortnight.

Notable directors who emerged from this milieu include Quentin Tarantino, Richard Linklater, Steven Soderbergh, Jim Jarmusch, Kelly Reichardt, and Wes Anderson. These filmmakers often operate on smaller budgets and are known for their narrative risk-taking, unique visual styles, and a focus on character-driven stories.

Independent films are often financed by small production companies, crowd-sourced funding, grants, or private investors. Distribution methods vary widely, ranging from limited theatrical release and festival circuits to direct-to-streaming and video-on-demand. Companies such as A24, IFC Films, and Neon have become notable champions of indie cinema in the 21st century.

Indie films are distinguished by their emphasis on artistic vision and thematic complexity. They tend to eschew genre conventions, featuring unconventional storytelling techniques, ambiguous narratives, or socially conscious themes. Stylistically, they often use natural lighting, handheld cinematography, and non-professional actors to create a sense of realism and intimacy.

The term "indie game" refers to video games developed by individuals or small teams without the financial or infrastructural support of major game publishers. The rise of indie games is closely tied to the advent of digital distribution platforms such as Steam, Itch.io, GOG.com, and Xbox Live Arcade, which democratized access to audiences beginning in the mid-2000s.

Early influential indie games include Braid, Super Meat Boy, and Minecraft, all of which demonstrated that small teams could produce commercially successful and critically acclaimed titles. More recent examples like Celeste, Hades, Undertale, and Stardew Valley have continued to push the boundaries of game design and narrative within the indie framework.

Indie developers typically rely on personal savings, crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Patreon, or grants from arts organizations and tech companies. The development process is often more flexible and experimental than in the mainstream industry, allowing for unique game mechanics, niche themes, and bold artistic styles.

Indie games are often celebrated for their innovation, inclusivity, and emotional depth. They are more likely to explore marginalized voices, unconventional gameplay, or introspective themes. The indie scene has also played a significant role in the broader gamification of culture and the elevation of video games as a form of serious artistic expression.

Indie literature refers to works published outside of the major publishing houses. This includes books released by independent publishers, as well as self-published works facilitated by digital tools and platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, Smashwords, and Lulu. The indie literature movement has democratized the publishing industry, allowing a broader range of voices and genres to flourish.

While indie literature spans all genres, it has been particularly influential in areas such as speculative fiction, romance, memoir, and experimental prose. It allows for stylistic and thematic risk-taking that might not be viable in commercial publishing. Notable examples of successful indie authors include Hugh Howey (Wool) and Andy Weir (The Martian), both of whom achieved mainstream recognition after initially self-publishing.

Though still sometimes marginalized by traditional literary critics, indie literature has gained increasing respect for its quality and cultural impact. Awards, critical reviews, and academic interest in self-published and small-press books have contributed to its growing legitimacy. Ebooks and print-on-demand technologies have further enabled the proliferation of indie literature.

At its core, indie culture is characterized by an ethos of autonomy, integrity, and anti-commercialism. It prioritizes creative control, authentic expression, and direct engagement with audiences. This ethos often intersects with broader social movements, including DIY culture, anti-corporate activism, and postmodern aesthetic sensibilities.

Despite its anti-mainstream origins, "indie" has itself become a commercial category. The popularity of indie aesthetics has led to their adoption by major corporations and brands, sometimes diluting the original subversive intent. Critics have noted that "indie" can sometimes serve as a marketing label rather than a true marker of independence.

Nonetheless, the tension between independence and commercial viability remains a central feature of the indie world, driving ongoing debates about authenticity, artistic integrity, and the future of creative work.

Indie is not only a mode of production but also a cultural identity embraced by communities and individuals. This identity is often expressed through fashion (e.g., thrifted or vintage clothing), taste cultures (e.g., preferences for niche or obscure media), and social values (e.g., environmental consciousness, inclusivity, and anti-consumerism). The indie identity is especially prominent among millennials and Gen Z cohorts and is often associated with urban, educated, and artistically inclined populations.

Indie culture represents one of the most significant cultural movements of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It embodies a persistent quest for autonomy, creativity, and meaning in the face of corporate homogenization and mass production. Across music, film, games, and literature, the indie movement continues to challenge conventional boundaries, offer alternative narratives, and empower creators to shape the cultural landscape on their own terms. While not without contradictions, the indie phenomenon remains a vital and evolving force in global cultural life.

"For a long time, I have felt suffocated by the atmosphere of my divided country, which permeates my everyday life. In 2021, the University of Theatre and Film Arts, Budapest lost its autonomy when it was completely reorganized from above as directed by the state, and the professors and students did not agree with this at all,” Reisz says in his director’s notes.

“The young people blockaded the university – for lack of any better means – and events soon took a party politics turn, even though the students’ only aim was to be able to take part in autonomous education. As a filmmaker and former student of the university, I joined their struggle, and one day, on the way home from a demonstration, it occurred to me that we need to talk about the situation that surrounds us, and that every art form, including film, should be a medium through which to do this. This is what prompted the main idea of ‘Explanation for Everything,”

2. Cost Reduction

Independent creators and startups can access high-quality visuals, music, and scripts without hiring large teams, reducing production costs.

3. Democratization of Creativity

AI makes creative tools accessible to non-experts. A teenager with a smartphone can now generate movie-quality visuals or music.

4. Idea Expansion

AI often generates unexpected results, offering new creative directions. It acts as a creative partner, not just a tool.

Challenges and Controversies

Despite its benefits, Creative Media AI raises important concerns.

1. Authenticity and Originality

Can AI-generated art be truly "original"? Since models are trained on existing works, critics argue that AI mimics rather than creates. This raises questions about the nature of creativity.

2. Copyright and Ownership

Legal battles are unfolding over AI training data. Who owns AI-generated content—the user, the developer, or the artists whose work was scraped?

3. Job Displacement

Creative professionals fear being replaced or undervalued. While AI augments many roles, there's real anxiety about automation taking over human creativity.

4. Bias and Ethical Use

AI can replicate biases found in its training data—be it cultural stereotypes or exclusionary perspectives. Ensuring diverse, ethical datasets is crucial.

Human-AI Collaboration: The Ideal Future

Most experts agree: the future of creative media isn't AI replacing humans but AI collaborating with humans. This is already happening across industries. Directors use AI to storyboard films; musicians use it to generate base melodies; journalists use it to research and draft content.

Think of AI as a new kind of brush, pen, or instrument—one that extends human imagination rather than confines it.

Emerging Trends in Creative Media AI

Multimodal Creativity: Tools like GPT-4o can understand and generate across text, images, audio, and video, enabling seamless multimedia creation.

Real-Time AI Co-Creation: Interactive tools now let users refine AI outputs live, guiding tone, style, or pacing as they go.
