Cinema of Palestine

Cinema of Palestine is relatively young in comparison to Arab cinema as a whole. Palestinian films are not exclusively produced in Arabic and some are even produced in English and French.[3] Elia Suleiman has emerged as one of the most notable working Palestinian directors.[4]

For the term of propaganda, see Pallywood.

Name[edit]

In contrast to the way some other locations with associations to film industry are named in casual parlance, Palestinian cinematic film producers aren't said to be part of 'Pallywood' as that word is used in reference to a term of propaganda.
