The 2023 Palestinian Film Festival Australia has been postponed, and two documentaries from previous years have been made free to stream.

From their website:

The continuing crisis in Occupied Palestine is heartbreaking. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with the innocent and vulnerable people caught up in this latest war. This is not the time to hold a film festival. It is time to mourn the dead, pay our respects to those suffering and work together to bring an immediate end to the ongoing atrocities against innocent civilians. It is for these reasons, we have decided to postpone the 2023 Palestinian Film Festival Australia.

In an effort to promote an increased understanding of what is happening in Occupied Palestine, the Palestinian Film Festival Australia is making two documentaries, 1948: Creation & Catastrophe and Gaza, screened at previous Palestinian film festivals freely available for all Australians to see.

1948: Creation and Catastrophe by Andy Trimlett and Ahlam Muhtaseb.

Through moving personal recollections of both Palestinians and Israelis, 1948: Creation and Catastrophe reveals the shocking events of the most pivotal year in the most controversial conflict in the world.

Gaza by Garry Keane and Andrew McConnell.

A portrait of a people attempting to lead meaningful lives against the rubble of perennial conflict and going beyond the reach of television news reports to reveal a world rich with eloquent and resilient characters.

    I wonder when Australian Government will consider whoever against the United Nation Decision is a terrorist.

    The Isreali keep taking land by force from the Palestnian and building their colonies against the United Nation many decisions.

    Ontop of that killing Palestinian civilian on a daily basis.

      Gaza has not been 'occupied' by Israel since 2005. What are you on about??
      Killing Palestinians on a daily basis??? Only since Hamas started another jihad….

      Ironic given that the UN decision of 48 which gave a two state solution for Jewish and Arabic population wasn't honoured by the Arab population and the neighbouring countries of Israel.

    • Pest85 on 18/10/2023 - 13:34

      In 1948 when UN said you should create 2 countries - Israel and Palestine.
      Israel said ok and been created, Palestine said - NO, we dont agree, and refused to create a country within provided borders.
      There are no internationally recognized borders for Palestine, yet they somehow claim its jews fault…

      Only in 1988 - 40 years later - some countries started to recognize Palestine and UN proposed borders of 1967 (why not 1948 ?); however, after a number of wars, Israel refused saying those borders could not be protected.

      FYI, Palestine is not recognized by Australia, USA, Canada, most of EU. Shall Australia recognize itself as a terrorist then? Technically its against UN decision…

    I'm downvoting just because I don't want to see anything political at all. These aren't good for the ozbargain community and do nothing but divide us. (I'd downvote either side of this war)

      You can't really stop politics being discussed in a forum with so many people and different opinions. The definition of politics is hazy at best and would be too hard to enforce (or it'd end up like Whirlpool where anything mods disagree with is taken down). Having the mods' unwritten biases favouring one group of views over another would create more division or a hivemind, neither of which would be good in my opinion

      • jv on 18/10/2023 - 15:10

    Few facts (putting my point of view in public):

    • Hamas is a terrorist organisation
    • IDF is a terrorist organisation
    • Arabs are naturally aggressive and can't bear a jew nation in Middle East
    • In response to that, Jews has also gone aggressive and believe every Arab is terrorist

    They both will keep fighting until the end.

    EDIT: I feel sorry for all the innocent people dying in this conflict. Perhaps, they should move on to their neighboring countries and start their life again. That's what I would do.

      Facts? Every Israeli is forced to join IDF at 18 years old. They are not terrorists, they are just normal people like you and me. My brother got called up to fight in this conflict, he has a wife, 4 young kids and just finished building a house. He is not a terrorist. Also not every jew thinks arabs are terrorists, their views are just as varied as those on this site. Stop talking shit mate.

      Not sure whether this is allowed but here's what the deleted comments from FallOfOzB said (funny how another ghost account was going around an hour before with the name FallOfMiddleEast. Surely not related). Only doing it because I always wonder what those deleted comments say

      They won't they are supporters of Hamas. I have sent through a report to both ASIO and AFP about the moderators on this website and have asked for background checks to be done as they are facilitating terrorist propaganda on their website and silencing those who speak against Hamas. Definitely something fishy with OzBargain especially with all the CCP support. Definitely has been infiltrated I wouldn't trust this site with your info at all.

      This guy's hilarious. A couple of documentaries he hasn't watched being posted is terrorist propaganda I wonder if Australia's large Chinese population has anything to do with its CCP support. Man sounds like a domestic terrorist trying to get the mods under federal investigation

      Also to prove they're shit scared, watch my comment and account disappear.

      Couldn't have anything to do with it being a ghost account which is against the rules, along with calling the police on moderators of a bargain site for a bargain you disagreed with. Truly pathetic behaviour

        The Palestinians voted for hamas in an election with a large amount of international observers to ensure its integrity.

        • Ryballs on 18/10/2023 - 15:09
          +5

          Hamas initially started as an activist group supported by the Israeli government for its perceived moderation. In their last election in 2006, Palestinians voted for Hamas due to its social services and resistance efforts, as they saw their opposition (Fatah) as corrupt and ineffective.

          While desperation can lead to unexpected government choices (as also seen in the Philippines with Duterte), a country's politics shouldn't justify harm against its citizens. That way of thinking is what caused this latest incident in the first place.

    The continuing crisis in Occupied…

    Stop spreading their propaganda and lies for them. They weren't "occupied" and Israel would like nothing better than to wash their hands of them. We know this because they've tried to hand them autonomy over and over but they didn't want it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_autonomy_talks. It didn't suit them because then they can't continue their "holy" (unholy) war, nor whine to gullible people in the west willing to believe their lies. They do however love free utilities Israel supplies which they refuse to pay for: https://www.reuters.com/article/israel-palestinians-gaza-ele…. (So no @$%^& wonder Israel turns off the tap sometimes. I wouldn't turn it on for my bludging next door neighbour AT ALL, letting them leech off me, forcing me to pay their bills, and nor would any of you. The reality is Hamas who were "voted" in and have never allowed another election since, couldn't hold onto power over the people of Palestine without the generosity of Israel - because their minds are still in a religious war from the stone age and are scared witless of what would happen if they had to become responsible leaders and supply those things. Oh and if Hamas terrorists (no less so than Osama Bin Laden, and designated so by various governments around the world) hadn't sparked this off, made sitting back and allowing it to get worse each time impossible, everyone over there would still be living in relative quiet with Hamas only shooting the occasional toddler in their stroller at the playground in the head: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Shalhevet_Pass.

    Posts like this and the mind control victims who post them should be banned.

      You should read the page you're linking to, it doesn't agree with you.

      Quotes:
      "Neither the Palestine Liberation Organization nor any other Palestinian organization was directly involved in the talks. "

      and
      "The delegations were led by Prime Minister Mustafa Khalil (Egypt), Minister of the Interior Yosef Burg (Israel), and Ambassador James Leonard (United States)"

      and
      "On May 8, 1980, Anwar Sadat unilaterally suspended the negotiations."

      It appears the people at those talks were from the surrounding countries, not from Palestine. And the talks were suspended by Egypt, multiple times.

          Racisim is eg. when you claim something that's not down your alley has to do with the race and some agenda around it, esp. if it's imaginary.

          You can keep your farts and brainfarts within your very self, but once you let them out, you're not anymore just blinding others with your tinfoil hat, but you also become a nuisance.

And why? To protect the majority of the people THERE TOO, to take out the munitions of the terrorists and them too, if they're stupid enough to stay there - and why? So they don't have time to move the ammo somewhere else, ready for the next attack. Yeah, how terrible of me to think they should, you know, have the right to protect their own citizens, defend themselves against terrorists, who have been doing this for decades - instead I should be telling them to say nothing, do nothing, just allow the next 500 attacks to happen too…

Or can we just be honest and point to the fact I don't blindly support terrorists is what you don't like, nor do I swallow their baseless propaganda (Israel does this to us, and does that, and whine, whine, whine… please don't look at the fact we shoot toddlers with snipers, and steal utilities THEY KEEP SUPPLYING us with after declaring WE'LL NEVER PAY FOR THEM, and in return for them wanting to grant us autonomy for decades and treating us in their hospitals, we want to drive every one of their men, women, and children into the sea just like we always chant…)

          Note how it's always the ones with the insults who actually don't know what they're talking about.

          Unlike many I actually researched the history some time ago, including the Quran and Mohammad. So I know the real reasons/background which Hamas hide and most people in the west don't know and/or care to learn.

          Flee, flee, palestine! (Because cowardly Hamas will never allow "their" people to live in peace.)

    lets drag Australia into a war they have nothing to do with in the middle of a living crisis we are facing here, such a good fricking idea

      This neverending $hitshow has nothing to do with Australia, and it should stay that way.

      For 1000's of years blood had been spilled on that patch of land……

      We're already paying $368 billions to AUKUS for nuclear subs to drag ourselves into a future proxy war with China. What cost of living crisis are you on about mate?

        Imagine being stupid enough to say that, despite our country having been attacked by an Asian country recently enough for those alive to still remember it !

          That was Japan if you meant WW2 and they are currently our allies, or do you mean to say you're anti-Asian countries generally?

    This is a deal site. Neither is this a deal but rather a propaganda

    • imeanit on 18/10/2023 - 22:16

      Education and true stories are not propaganda. Try watching the films before labeling them as propaganda!

      • infinite on 19/10/2023 - 15:46

        The two doco's linked too are just literal propaganda though.

        They aren't films, they aren't satire, they aren't art.

        Just literal propaganda.

        They've also been free to watch on Vimeo for the last two years already as well.

    Perhaps now is the time to remind everyone of the greatest ever….well, the second greatest ever thing to emerge from the middle east after Hummus: west bank story: the musical https://youtu.be/mgQfCUNf0no?si=2O7xvQi_08UerEGU

      Where is the nearest 'Kosher King' ?

        If you promise not to bomb it, I'll send you the coordinates :)

    Time to start posting Free Documentaries from YouTube here coz those are deals too 🙄

      These two doco's have been free to watch on Vimeo for the last 2+ years already. This is not even a case of "here's something that used to cost X amount, now it's it's been reduced down to no cost for X period of time".

    I’m posting so that I can negative this “deal”. Reasons have been stated all over the thread.

      Same. Double standards when it comes to posting "bargains" as we have seen previously with other "deals" that get totally trashed. However this suddenly is a bargain

    Let's be real, both Palestine and Israel are full of cant's.

      Israeli cant's won't just walk into a building and explode themselves or behead a bunch of babies though.

    You've all been scammed by an imaginary man in the sky, don't take life to seriously, you'll be part of the earth again soon.
