RAMALLAH April 23 (JMCC) Palestinian filmmakers produced three feature films and eight shorts last year, despite facing serious logistical problems and a lack of venues in their own community.

CNN describes these difficulties, speaking to filmmakers Annemarie Jacir and Alia Arasoughly about their work.

I think theres a wave coming -- a lot of new filmmakers, a lot of people making documentaries and more experimental films, working together, Jacir, who created the feature film Salt of This Sea, told CNN.

For the films showing at the 10th London Palestine Film Festival this week,go to their website .
