Palestine is experiencing the most challenging period in its history, amid the genocidal war in the Gaza Strip that has now extended to the West Bank. Entire families have been erased from civil registries, women and children have been targeted, and each victim has their own story. Some women have lost their breadwinners, while others have lost their children and must now face life alone. Therefore, we recognized the importance of establishing a festival called the "Gaza International Festival for Women's Cinema" to highlight the cinematic stories of women's experiences.
