The Red Carpet Human Rights Film Festival, established in 2015 in Gaza City, describes itself as the only human rights film festival in Palestine. It screens documentaries and films addressing human rights issues both inside Palestine and internationally, and runs in collaboration with the Karma Film Festival across the border in Jordan.
Gaza City is not, on the surface, an obvious place to sustain an annual film festival.
Operating from Gaza City, a location whose film infrastructure has been repeatedly damaged by conflict and constrained by a long-running blockade on the movement of people and goods, the festival positions itself specifically around human rights themes rather than general cinema, aligning it with the international Human Rights Film Network model established by festivals such as the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival
Its partnership with Jordan's Karma Film Festival gives Gazan filmmakers and audiences a cross-border connection that is otherwise extremely difficult to maintain given restrictions on travel in and out of Gaza, making the collaboration itself a practical statement about the festival's mission
