HPFF Mission

Since 2007, the Houston Palestine Film Festival (HPFF) has been dedicated to sharing the stories of Palestinians through the powerful medium of cinema. As a nonprofit, non-political, and non-religious organization, HPFF offers an honest and independent lens into Palestinian life—its culture, history, struggles, and triumphs—by showcasing films from Palestine and its global diaspora.

Each year, HPFF brings together filmmakers, artists, and audiences from across Houston and beyond to experience compelling narratives that are too often overlooked. Through screenings, panel discussions, and cultural events, the festival creates a space for dialogue, reflection, and community engagement.

Join us as we celebrate the resilience, creativity, and humanity of the Palestinian people—one film at a time.
