Franklin County For Palestine is hosting a five-part film series from August 11 through September 29, featuring screenings at various locations throughout Franklin and Grand Isle counties. The community-led organizing group announced the schedule to provide regional audiences with independent cinema focused on Palestinian narratives, culture, and history.
Film Series Schedule and Locations
According to Franklin County For Palestine, the screenings take place across multiple community spaces in northern Vermont. The series opens on August 11 and runs bi-weekly through late September, utilizing local venues to foster discussions around international solidarity and cinema.
Organizers have structured the lineup to highlight distinct aspects of Palestinian life and displacement. Each screening event pairs the feature presentation with community dialogue, allowing attendees to engage directly with the themes explored on screen. Specific venue addresses and exact showtimes are published locally through the group’s community outreach channels.
Community Impact and Regional Engagement
The film series represents an expansion of public cultural programming organized by Franklin County For Palestine within Vermont’s Franklin and Grand Isle counties. By bringing independent films to rural and semi-rural venues, the group aims to broaden access to international perspectives that rarely reach mainstream commercial theaters in the region.
Local volunteers coordinate the logistics for each event, ensuring free or low-cost admission to keep the screenings accessible to the public. The initiative relies on grassroots participation and community donations to cover venue rentals and licensing fees.
Future Screenings and Final Events
The series concludes on September 29 with its final scheduled screening. Franklin County For Palestine plans to use the closing event to gather feedback from attendees and discuss potential future cultural programming for the autumn and winter seasons.
