Hashtags (#film #media #filmfestival #humanrights #filmphotography #art) are already made to show the importance of the event where many films are being screened. Most of the people in the Strip say it partially relieves daily tensions about the possibility of more Israeli wars.

Cinema houses have been banned in Gaza for a long time but the fact that events such as these are being held shows the Hamas authorities maybe relaxing somewhat in their approach.
