As I often do when terrible things are happening in the world and I’ve made all the phone calls I can and I still feel helpless, I turn to SFF as one way we can all at least connect together. So let’s talk about SFF by Palestinian authors. There isn’t a lot in (or translated to) English, but it’s still very worth reading. The speculative fiction magazine Strange Horizons published a Palestinian Special issue on March 29, 2021. There are short stories and poetry to check out there. While obviously not a book, Palestinian direction Larissa Sansour has filmed a trilogy of science fiction films. You can learn more about them at Mec Film along with In Vitro. There are VOD links, though sadly the films are only available in a small number of countries in Europe.
