BE A LOCAL HERO, SUPPORT TPFF
The Toronto Palestine Film Festival (TPFF) is a volunteer-run, non-profit festival that has been bringing Palestinian stories through cinema, art, music, and culture to GTA audiences for 14 years. Thanks to the generosity of our audience and community donors, TPFF has consistently been able to break new grounds by showcasing the diverse talents of Palestinians globally.
Despite the hardships of the pandemic, with your support last year TPFF was able to innovate and experiment by hosting our first digital festival. In fact, in 2020, TPFF was one of the first Palestinian film festival to reinvent itself as a digital festival. While we missed seeing our festival family, TPFF reached new heights when thousands of viewers in more than 50 cities around the world tuned in.
As we approach our 14th year, the pandemic continues to stretch our finances and our funding. To ensure our annual film festival programming can continue this year, we are counting on your support once again in helping us reach our goal.
Any donation, big or small, goes a long way. All the funding will go directly towards the operations of the festival, which includes:
- Ensuring the festival is accessible online and in-person (if permitted by public health)
- Support filmmakers and artists through fair compensation
- Operational costs such as streaming, online ticketing, and production
- Sharing diverse stories of triumph and hardship of Palestinians with Toronto and international audiences
- Creating a space for audiences to gather, engage, learn, share and celebrate Palestinian excellence
We are a small but mighty team of passionate volunteers who, like you, believe in the power of arts in representation and storytelling. We are grateful for your support.
We hope you are keeping well, and staying safe. We look forward to being together again soon!
-The TPFF Organizing Committee
