Vote Now: Palestinian Film to Play Across UK

Posted by Samer Araabi at 3:11 pm

In 48 hours Virgin will select the winning 2 minute short from 750 running this year in competition. Palestinian film maker Leila Sansour is about 200 votes shy of having this moving film about the wall in Palestine come first. This is the first year that Virgin opens the vote to the public. If her film  wins it will screen for a whole year in UK cinemas and beyond running alongside other ads before commercial film screenings. This will be an important media achievement in raising awareness of the Wall's impact in Palestine and a great chance for the Palestinian story to reach and entirely new audience.

The film has already captured the public imagination and stands a great chance to win.
