Slidefest SAFAR at Peckham24

Gulf Photo Plus (GPP), SAFAR Film Festival, and Peckham 24 are teaming up to present Slidefest SAFAR—an evening of powerful visual storytelling spotlighting the spirit of resistance across five countries: Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Sudan, and Yemen. Bringing together compelling presentations by artists from these regions, the event will reflect on collective struggles and solidarities in the face of oppression, occupation, and injustice, and the ways in which creativity becomes a force for resilience and defiance.

Five photographers will each present their work for seven minutes, followed by a Q&A at the end of presentations, for the audience to ask questions.

Slidefest is an event founded by Gulf Photo Plus in Dubai over 15 years ago. It is an evening of inspiring photography presentations and Q&A. Since its inception over a decade ago, GPP has held over 30 Slidefest evenings and has presented them in Cairo, Jeddah, Riyadh and Bahrain and London. 

SAFAR Film Festival is the UK’s leading platform for independent Arab cinema. Founded in 2012 by the Arab British Centre, 2025 sees the festival mark its 10th edition with screenings in 10 cities across the UK from 11-28 June, plus a free online programme throughout the month of June.
