Screen with No Border’s ‘Palestine on film’ season:
On the 2nd of November 2026, to mark the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, Screen with No Borders will be joining Palestine Cinema Days AROUND THE WORLD 2026.
A project of the FilmLab Palestine, Palestine Cinema Days Around the World is a global community-driven festival and an act of cultural resistance. On that day, that marks the onset of a colonial promise made over Palestinian land, cinemas, art centres, universities and communities around the world join forces by screening Palestinian films.

Film:
To a Land Unknown (Mahdi Fleifel, 106 min)
In this gritty thriller-drama, Chatila (Mahmood Bakri) and Reda (brilliant newcomer Aram Sabbah), Palestinian cousins who escaped a refugee camp in Lebanon, are trying to survive in underground Athens, en route to what they hope will be a better life in Germany.
Inspired by real-life stories that Palestinian director Mahdi Fleifel has heard throughout his own displaced life in Dubai and then Denmark, the film is an empathetic, yet realistic, portrait of the refugee experience that does not shy away from the complex morality of criminality, smuggling and, ultimately, human nature.
