Details

Our mission is to establish, support, sustain and develop youth film and modern media communities in Palestine, by providing children and youth of both genders with audiovisual and new media tools to change their perceptions of themselves as being victims into positive acting members in the society, capable of taking initiatives and be positive facilitators of change, and equip them with better means of communication and interaction with their society and other youth in the region and the world at large.

Film making training Project started in the year 2000 and continued for nine years in collaboration with several local and international institutions. In that period dozens of Palestinian Youth have been introduce to the language of filmmaking and they produced 23 short films on their own. Building on that experience, "young Palestinian filmmakers Society” was established in 2009.

Vision
