Palestine is going through the most difficult phase in its history, in light of the genocidal war on the Gaza Strip and then the transfer to the West Bank. Entire families were erased from the civil registry, women and children were targeted, and each of them has a story. Some women lost their breadwinners, and some lost their children.

She had to face life alone, so we realized the importance of establishing a festival called the "Gaza International Women's Film Festival" to bring women's issues to the forefront of cinema.Requirements for the Gaza International Women's Film Festival's Film Competition:

The festival accepts feature-length and short narrative and documentary films. The film must address a women's issue in any country around the world.

The Gaza International Women's Film Festival announced its special script competition, which will be accepting scripts from June 1 to August 31, 2025. The script competition requires that the script directly or indirectly addresses the Palestinian cause. The script competition is divided into two categories: feature-length and short. The festival administration has decided to name the script award after a Palestinian novelist whose novels have served the Palestinian cause. The name of the novelist whose name the competition will bear will be announced soon. We hope that the competition will encourage screenwriters from within and outside the country to write scripts that serve the Palestinian cause, especially women in light of the genocide.

1. The script must address the Palestinian cause, either directly or indirectly.

2. The script must be for a feature-length or short film.
