Cinema of Palestine

Following this documentary, Sirhan joined Jamal al-Asphar to produce a 45-minute film called The Realized Dreams, aiming to "promote the orphans' cause".Sirhan and al-Asphar also produced a documentary about Ahmad Hilmi Pasha, a member of the Higher Arab Commission.Only one dramatic movie was made during the period, namely Return to Haifa in 1982, an adaptation of a short novel by Ghassan Kanafani.In 1982, when the PLO was forced out of Beirut, the archive was put into storage (in the Red Crescenty Hospital), from where it "disappeared" under circumstances which are still unclear.[20] Notable film directors of this period include[21] Michel Khleifi, Rashid Masharawi, Ali Nassar and Elia Suleiman.[25] In contrast to the way some other locations with associations to film industry are named in casual parlance, the term Pallywood has only derogatory acceptions.

In the 1960s, there was a small group of people that started filming the Palestinian Revolution. [ 9 ] The PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) helped tremendously with allowing people such as Arab filmmakers start up their films. In the late 60s, these films that were being made, around 100 or more, focused mostly on themes such as collective resistance, exile, and refugees with Palestinians being displaced by Israel at this time. These films were being screened in refugee camps, military bases, villages and towns, and sometimes even gained international recognition. [ 9 ] The distribution of these films was not controlled by the filmmakers but regardless, cinema allowed them to tell their own stories.
