Stars of Bethlehem - Participatory Video with Palestinian refugees

Stars of Bethlehem was a Participatory Video project working with a group of young Palestinian refugees in 3 refugee camps in Bethlehem in 2007.

The project formed a film group and each participant made their own film. Music in the films was performed by Abu Shaybeh and Charlie Rishmaw. In this gallery you can see 5 of the films made by the youth participants. Special thanks to Ali, Hussam, Mohamad, Haneen and Mohanad for permission to show their work.
