Films of Resistance is a decentralised movement that helps in organising film screenings and fundraisers. FoR believes in the power of cinema to expose, inspire, reflect, frame and reframe.

Films of Resistance splits donations into: 50% of donations go to supporting cultural and grassroots organisations in the occupied territories of Palestine. 40% of the donations go to informal support of productions in process by Palestinian filmmakers based in the region. 10% will be used to cover the screening fees of the films at Films of Resistance screenings.

During the evening, Het Dooorp will host the 1 year anniversary of Tabaria Café at Restaurant Laak. Tabaria Café is a Palestinian pop-up initiative. The café focusses on the helping of exiled Palestinians to connect to their roots, and to learn others about Palestinian heritage.
