Are you a Palestinian woman filmmaker? Whether you live inside or outside of the Palestinian Territories, we need you! Her Film Project seeks interviews with, and guest posts by, Palestinian women filmmakers to discuss a specific film, their body of work and the challenges and joys of filmmaking. Earlier this year, we created a page for the HFP website called 2013 Theme, which this year is "Palestinian Women Filmmakers." Would you like to do an interview or guest post for the Her Film Project blog? Contact Kyna to let her know, and if you can, please send a link to your work. While we're open to working with Palestinian women filmmakers anywhere in the world, we have a major interest in working with filmmakers who live and work within the Territories of Gaza and the West Bank.

Because we are global in our mission to support women filmmakers, because Palestine's voice is often ignored and silenced, and because Palestine has great talent and a growing population of women filmmakers who work within tightly proscribed and difficult circumstances, Her Film Project is dedicating 2013 to cover Palestinian women filmmakers within and outside of the Territories.
