# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Al Awdah 9th International Film Festival
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 18 May, 2025 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Al Awdah International Film Festival is held in Sydney to showcase and document stories of the ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank by the criminal Zionist occupation forces, and to celebrate the mythical steadfastness of the people of Gaza.

From the displacement camps of Gaza and under the bombardment of the Zionist criminal war planes and tanks, and despite the cruel and murderous siege, film makers are still working relentlessly for Palestinian cinema to highlight the steadfastness of our people in Gaza, and to affirm the right to return through the International Return Film Festival.

Despite all the hardships, director and producer Saud Muhanna and director Yosef Khattab have set out to make films that document the life of exile and the stories of children and women in the face of the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The event will showcase multiple short films produced by many reputable Arab film makers about the Palestinian ongoing struggle for justice, freedom and liberation. Over the course of the event, we will also include a musical session from the Palestinian heritage, screenings of the nominated short films, and handing in awards for the winning films.

Join us I this heartfelt evening of music food and cinema to celebrate the Palestinian culture of resilience and resistance.

The event will include light dinner, music and a consortium of Palestinian art work displayed at the venue from different Palestinian artists from around Palestine.
