The Organizers

Palestinian Film Festival Amsterdam
As part of the 2025 Palestinian Film Festival Amsterdam, Dialogue Session #2: Embroidery and Embodied Transmission welcomes filmmakers Carol Mansour and Muna Khalidi for a conversation with artisan and entrepreneur Belinda Idriss on embroidery, textile tradition, and embodied knowledge transmission. Carol, Muna, and Belinda will be joined in conversation by curator and researcher Amal Alhaag. 

This session follows a Thursday night screening of Mansour’s 2017 film Stitching Palestine, and is part of a tatreez trajectory within the festival programme, which highlights the importance of this cultural tradition as one of the virtual threads materially connecting Palestinian life in Palestine and across the Diaspora. Alongside the screening and dialogue session, festival audiences can also join for a Sunday afternoon hands-on workshop. 

The Dialogue Sessions are a series of conversations taking place throughout the 2025 Palestinian Film Festival Amsterdam, which invite two cultural producers to share short presentations on their practices followed by an extended conversation between them.
