Building our Power: Community and Creative Resistance (Fireside Chat)

Join us for an intimate conversation with the President of MPAC, Salam Al-Marayati, and Watermelon Pictures’ director of production and acquisitions, Munir Atalla, and Creative Director, Alana Hadid, as they discuss the power of storytelling as a means to reclaim narratives and preserve cultural identity. 

Watermelon Pictures has been at the forefront of telling authentic Palestinian experiences, bringing untold and often suppressed stories to light, and fostering space for dialogue and understanding. As a pioneer film production and distribution company, Watermelon Pictures is dedicated to amplifying Palestinian voices through bold and compelling storytelling that resonates globally. This fireside chat will be a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of art, activism, and cultural identity.
