Palestinian cinema is relatively young in comparison to Arab cinema as a whole, many Palestinian movies are made with European and Israeli funding and support.[1] Palestinian movies are not exclusively produced in Arabic and some are made in English, French and Hebrew.[2]
It is believed that there have been over 800 films produced about Palestinians, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and other related topics.[3]
