Join us at the Rockfield Centre in Oban after our screening of The Wanted 18 for an evening of Palestinian food and table discussions. Some of these dishes have to be tried to be believed!

Including chicken and vegetarian maqluba, humus, fattoush and baba ghanoush, you will be taken on a culinary tour of a passionate food region. Digest the film or break bread with friends old and new as we dine together at the end of the first evening of Scotland’s Falastin Film Festival.

The mouth watering plates are lovingly provided by Hiba’s Palestinian Kitchen in Glasgow.

Hiba's Palestinian Kitchen was founded by a Palestinian mother and daughter wanting to spread Palestinian cuisine and heritage by providing authentic Palestinian food. Their aim is to resist through keeping Palestine's dishes alive. They are delicious and high quality with healthy choices for everyone.

Falastin Film Festival (FFF) is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit collective of Palestinians and allies dedicated to bringing Palestinian art to the Edinburgh and Highland audiences. Palestinians are often summed up as an ‘occupied people,’ and spoken for, though they have unending stories to tell. Using cinema, primarily, as a tool of resistance we strive to decolonize the narrative and equip audiences with historical context. We want to build community while celebrating Palestinian art and culture through cinema, music, cuisine, and other storytelling mediums.

Scotland’s exposure to Palestinian society, art, culture, and humanity altogether remains rather limited. We hope to contribute to filling this gap, using both classical and contemporary cinema, primarily, but not exclusively. We strive to highlight Palestinian steadfast resistance, cultural preservation, stories of love, and in the words of poet Rafeef Ziadah, teachings of life. In so doing, we offer a refreshing portrayal that encompasses the geographic, linguistic, and experiential diversity of the Palestinian people, globally.
