For the second year running, we are honored to present our festival poster created by Haitham Haddad (@studio.mnjnk ). A visual artist from Palestine, Haitham works with different mediums such as illustration, image-making, video, graphic design and sound to examine notions of memory and myth, and tensions between the digital and the material realms in the Palestinian context and beyond.

Haitham's design invites us to consider the practice at the center of our festival - the act of witnessing, collectively. Drawing on images from Palestinian newspaper archives, this year's poster reminds us of the Palestinian gaze behind the cinema that brings us together.
