Launched by Cinephilia Productions and NAAS member Filmlab: Palestine, and with the goal to create a positive change in the emotional and psychological fabric of the next generation of Arab youth, Sunbird Stories is a state-of-the-art development and production program that intends to develop six to eight narrative short films in the often overlooked genres – children, teen, family, and coming-of-age – by emerging and up-and-coming Palestinian filmmakers living in Palestine and/or the diaspora.

Two projects will receive the Sunbird Stories Production Prize of $10,000 each plus in-kind production and post-production services.
