Palestine Cinema Days (Dublin) 2025: Jenin, Jenin

As international news outlets, world leaders, and major social media platforms continue to censor and distort the narrative while fueling the dehumanization of Palestinians and their ongoing suffering, we are using our channels to support the forcibly canceled Palestine Cinema Days Festival.

On November 2, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, Film Lab Palestine have organised over 500 Palestinian film screenings around the world. This global effort is a show of solidarity with Palestine, an act of amplification for censored Palestinian voices, and a contribution to shifting the distorted narrative. Rank and File have chosen to participate in this project by hosting a screening of one of the selected films: Jenin,Jenin.

Film Description: In 2002, during Israel’s invasion of Jenin refugee camp, journalists were barred and war crime accusations emerged. Filmmaker Mohammad Bakri entered to record residents’ testimonies, giving voice to those silenced. The film was banned, sparking legal battles and accusations from soldiers. Years later, Israel’s Supreme Court overturned the ban, restoring this raw account of a community under siege. Directed by Mohammad Bakri. Documentary, 54 min.

Doors: 15:00

Screening:15:30

The screening will be followed by a post film discussion led by Rank and File Collective.
