FILMS bringing new perspectives on life in Palestine will be shown in Bristol next month.

The Bristol Palestine film festival returns on Friday, December 7 for a second season of films, art and talks on economic, social, political and cultural life in the occupied territories.

Like last year, the festival features a range of films, from moving dramas to quirky comedies that aim to move beyond the clichéd images from TV news reports.

Festival patron Ken Loach, pictured, and the writer and broadcaster Bidisha will open the festival before a screening of 5 Broken Cameras, a multi award-winning documentary that was filmed by West Bank farmer Emad Burnat over a five year period during which the huge changes occurred in and around his village.

The festival also includes an exhibition featuring work by Palestinian artist Eid Suleman and the Students of the Airowwad Cultural and Theatre Society. Bristol's own strong links with Palestine are represented by a night of conversation and acoustic music from the Bocastle Busker John Maughan, a local musician who joined a ship carrying aid to Gaza in 2010.

The festival runs to December 16 and events take place at the Watershed, Hamilton House, Parlour Showrooms and Knowle West Media Centre. Tickets are on sale now, some events are free. For more details visit www.bristolpff.org.uk.
