P21 Gallery Film Club
P21 Gallery is pleased to launch its Film Club, a new evening series held every few weeks, bringing together filmmakers, producers, and audiences for screenings followed by thoughtful conversation.
We are honoured to welcome Palestinian filmmaker Rawan Damen, who will join us for a screening of Part Three of her acclaimed Nakba series.
The evening will explore the documentation of Palestine — tracing narratives from the ethnic cleansing of 1948 to the realities of genocide today. Through film, archives, testimony, and storytelling, we will reflect on how history is recorded, challenged, and preserved.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Rawan Damen and an open Q&A with the audience.
This event marks the beginning of an ongoing space at P21 Gallery for cinema, dialogue, and critical engagement.
Rawan Damen is an award-winning filmmaker, media consultant, and media development leader with over two decades of experience in documentary filmmaking, television production, and digital storytelling. She has produced and directed more than 30 hours of internationally broadcast documentaries, including the acclaimed series Al-Nakba.
She previously spent ten years as a Senior Commissioning Producer at Al Jazeera Media Network, where she founded and led Palestine Remix, the largest interactive visual archive dedicated to Palestine. In 2019, Rawan launched the Palestine Ambassador initiative—an online platform designed to equip people interested in the Palestinian cause with reliable information, films, and practical tools to counter misinformation, featuring free multilingual content in Arabic, English, and Spanish.
Since 2020, Rawan has served as Director General of Arab Researchers for Investigative Journalism (ARIJ) and was recently elected Chairperson of the Board of the Global Forum for Media Development (GFMD). She holds an MA with distinction in Communication Studies from Leeds University.
