The 2026 Witness Palestine Film Festival marks fifteen years of bringing Palestinian cinema and voices to Rochester through stories that preserve memory, challenge narratives, and celebrate culture, resilience, and everyday life.

Through Palestinian film and art, we connect communities, preserve history, and remind us of the power of storytelling across generations.
Join us and help us continue amplifying Palestinian voices in our 15th year of the Witness Palestine Film Festival.

November 15 to 22, 2026.

A Bunch of Questions with No Answers is a record of the questions posed by journalists to the US State Department during press briefings between Oct 3, 2023 and the end of the Biden administration about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. As the endless demands for clarification and accountability were repeatedly met with convoluted evasions, the artists chose to edit them out.

Running for more than 23 hours, the film will be played over the course of four days, from Thursday November 20th through Sunday November 23rd from 12-6pm at RoCo. Entry is free and open to the public.
