TPFF is proud to present three original works created by local Palestinian filmmakers. The films were developed, workshopped, filmed and produced through the 2025 TPFF Film Residency. After an exciting year-long process, TPFF presents the world premieres of these incredible films. Two of the films were produced with the financial support of the Canadian government and the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association in partnership with TPFF to explore the themes of anti-Palestinian racism. The film Exception was added to this collection to round out the understanding of the manifestation of APR, which impacts so many in our community. <a href="&quot;https://www.theyoungwontforget.com/	&quot;" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learn More</a>

The Silence They Taught Us

Julia, a young Lebanese-Canadian journalism student lives with and cares for her reserved grandfather, Antoine. Julia attends a class on the Lebanese Civil War, where her professor tells a story about his experience as a foreign journalist covering the war. Having been sheltered from this reality her entire life, Julia is moved by the stories he tells and the images he shows. She is struck by one image in particular, that of a woman who seems so familiar to her. She seeks answers from her professor, who seems startled by her line of questioning, and evades answering her all together. Determined to get an answer, Julia returns home to continue her search, looking through old documents and photos, awaiting her grandfather’s return. Once home from his evening stroll, for the first time in her life, Julia reaches out and asks about his past in Lebanon and finally learns of the fate of her grandmother. <a href="&quot;https://sbp2025.my.canva.site/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learn More</a>

Between the Silence & the Noise

A graduate student is absurdly interrogated by a stalker and his two assistants over an old social media post. But there are strong similarities to a play he is acting in. As Zain’s interrogation plays out over 18 tense minutes, the line between fiction and reality blurs, and he slowly realizes that everything he does is being watched, leaving him to wonder who is truly watching. The film takes an abstract approach to themes of censorship and erasure, deliberately avoiding specific names, places, or historical events. Zain’s story unfolds within a surreal, theatrical realm, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its emotional and political currents, untethered from any fixed time or geography - and to question whether he is concealing or revealing the truth. <a href="https://www.rimahjabr.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learn More</a>
