Houston Palestine Film Festival

The Houston Palestine Film Festival is an annual festival of films about Palestinian life, history and identity, with filmmaker conversations and community programs. It is run by a Houston organization whose stated aim is sharing Palestinian stories through cinema. The 19th edition ran May 1–3, 2026, with all screenings at Rice Cinema in Sarofim Hall on the Rice University campus, and was dedicated to the late actor Mohammad Bakri. The festival's site keeps pages for past editions back to 2015. It does not post an open call for submissions, and no dates for a 2027 festival had been announced as of October 18, 2026.
