- 3rd edition of the Festival Ciné-Palestine - THAT’S A WRAP -

The Festival Ciné-Palestine’s organizing committee would like to thank all those involved in making this 3rd edition such a success. 
Thank you to May Odeh, Garance Clavel, Emilie Dudognon, Salim Abu Jabal and Mohamad Bakri, the great jury of the first edition of the short-movies Competition. 

The FCP’s organizing committee would like to address a special thought to the artists Areej Abu Eid and Alaa Al Desoki, Mahmoud Abu Ghalwa and Amer Nasser, who, due to the blockade of the Gaza Strip maintained by Israel and Egypt, weren’t allowed through Rafah Crossing. We hope we will have the pleasure to host them during our forthcoming editions. 

We would like to thank Missy Ness, SAMA', 47SOUL - with Al Far3i, Walaa Sbeit, Z to the People et Al Jehaz-, Naïssam Jalal & Osloob and their musicians, as well as DJ SOTUSURA, who all responded to the FCP’s invitation, to our audience greatest delight. 

Thank you to all the passionate and passionating speakers : Denis Sieffert, Assia Zaino, Alain Gresh, Houda Ibrahim, Halah Abdallah, Anaïs Farine, Mélanie Simon-Franza, Sarah Katz and Pierre Stam
boul.

The committee would also like to thank our partners, the movie theaters, the media, the associations, the institutions that put their trust on us, that supported and accompanied us throughout this Festival 3rd edition.

We also thank all of our volunteers, active by our side for months, and especially during these 10 days of Festival, in order to offer you a festival worthy of the greatness of the Palestinian cinema.

And last but not least, THANK YOU to the audience who came forward in great numbers to attend this yearly event celebrating our shared love of Palestinian cinema.

In the upcoming weeks, tune in to photo and video highlights of this remarquable edition, as well as our wrap media release. And save the date for the 4th edition of the FCP, in 2018 !
