An elegant, meticulously framed theater marquee made from vintage brushed steel and gleaming, frosted glass. The marquee glows with deep ruby-red neon letters spelling "Reel Change Film Festival", set against a backdrop of sleek, charcoal-black tilework. Below, tasteful charity banners reference the Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). The setting is just after sunset, golden hour casting a warm, inviting hue over the scene, and the neon lighting creates striking, luminous highlights and gentle, diffuse shadows. Captured from a slightly low angle with centered composition, the image blends photographic realism and a clean, modern aesthetic. The overall mood is hopeful, vibrant, and purposeful, supporting the festival’s humanitarian mission.

Solidarity through cinema


About

Our Mission


Reel Change is a charity film screening dedicated to using cinema as a force for solidarity and humanitarian action.

This curated screening raises funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), a leading humanitarian organisation providing essential medical care and emergency relief to Palestinian communities.

We invite filmmakers to submit work that reflects compassion, justice, resilience, and human connection. Selected films will be showcased at a public screening, with all proceeds donated to MAP in support of their life-saving work.

By participating, filmmakers become part of a collective effort to transform storytelling into tangible support — where every frame helps make a real difference!
