The 2010 Palestine Festival of Literature
PalFest is an annual cultural roadshow, touring around Palestine.
Because of the difficulties Palestinians face under military occupation in traveling around their own country, the Festival travels to its audiences.
PalFest 2010 will run from May 1st to 6th and will tour to Jerusalem, Nablus, Jenin, Bethlehem, Hebron and Ramallah.
PalFest aims to bring world class cultural events to Palestinian cities; to give Palestinian students access to some of the finest authors working today, and to create a forum for the exchange of ideas and stories between writers, readers and students.
This year’s events will feature performances by two members of Artists Against Apartheid: Tashweesh and Remi Kanazi.

Update: Watch message of solidarity from Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials trilogy.
