A beautiful moment from our very first Saint John Palestine Film Festival.
We were honored to host a powerful screening of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, made even more meaningful through the presence and testimony of Tracy Friars, who helped organize the screening and shared her reflections after watching the film.
Her words, alongside the support and hospitality of the team at Harmony United Church, helped create a space rooted in solidarity, reflection, and community.
A heartfelt thank you to Tracy Friars and the entire Harmony United Church team for making this possible.
We can’t wait to welcome you all again this year for our 2nd Annual Saint John Palestine Film Festival. Stay tuned!
