Filmlab Palestine invites Palestinian film professionals to apply for the Paris Film Residency taking place in November at the Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris in partnership with the Belfast Film Festival, Docs Ireland and the British council

Set in the heart of the Parisian Latin Quarter, close to Notre-Dame, the Pantheon and the Sorbonne, the Centre offers unusual and prestigious surroundings for short- and long-term stays as well as artist residencies.
