Tickets and the full programme are now available for Falastin Cinema Week here!
Accessibility is a key priority at Refuge Worldwide and while our programming is usually free, Falastin Cinema Week is a collaboration with different community groups and is unfunded. Therefore we need to sell tickets to cover our production costs, any surplus funds will be donated. There will be an allocation of tickets for each event priced at 5 EUR, 10 EUR, and 15 EUR. Each ticketed event at Refuge has a limited capacity of 40 pax. If you’re not able to buy a ticket, please drop us a line. The opening night at Spore Initiative is free of charge and does not require a ticket.
