“These round table conversations at a distance focus on the backup plan: a concept that Palestinian filmmakers are all too familiar with. These panels aim to connect these familiar experiences to one another, toward a greater understanding of how the Palestinian film scene will adapt - on the fly - to the latest developments in the international industry.”
