Year Round Cinema: 

A program that aims to support film-related activities and invest in building audiences through cultivating film culture, fostering a culture of film criticism, and opening a lively reciprocal dialogue with Palestinian audiences.
In March, the program attempts to look at the issue of gender-based violence through the lens of cinema. It will raise awareness of women's issues and help bring about the desired change by creating space for discussions about the patriarchal culture prevalent in our society. It will also highlight the impact of gender-based violence on dynamics within the family and community.
