Fundraiser screening for Medical Aid Palestine

On Friday 26th January, from 6.00 – 7.30pm, we will partner with GMAC Film to host a fundraiser screening at their Glasgow hub in response to the current emergency in Gaza.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to Medical Aid Palestine and tickets can be purchased on a Pay What You Can basis using the button at the bottom of this page.

Four films are being screened on the night, including Sharp Shorts supported GO HOME. Which tells the story of a Palestinian woman claiming asylum in the UK. She faces the indifference of British bureaucracy and the disillusionment of an asylum officer who decides to leave the country for good. Read an interview with GO HOME director Razan Madhoon here.
