Welcome to the Houston Palestine Film Festival!

The Houston Palestine Film Festival is proud to announce its 19th annual festival, taking place May 1–3, 2026 at Rice Cinema in Houston.

For nearly two decades, HPFF has served as a vital cultural platform showcasing Palestinian cinema and storytelling, amplifying authentic voices from Palestine and its global diaspora. The 2026 festival will continue this legacy with a thoughtfully curated program of feature films, documentaries, short films, panel discussions, and community-centered events.

Held at the historic Rice Cinema, the three-day festival will bring together filmmakers, artists, scholars, and audiences to engage with stories that reflect resilience, creativity, and the enduring power of culture. Programming will also include youth and family offerings, artist collaborations, and opportunities for dialogue and connection.

As Houston’s longest-running Palestinian cultural event, the Houston Palestine Film Festival remains committed to accessibility, education, and community engagement through the arts.
