Viewing Hours: November 20 - 23, 12-6pm

A Bunch of Questions with No Answers is a record of the questions posed by journalists to the US State Department during press briefings between Oct 3, 2023 and the end of the Biden administration about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. As the endless demands for clarification and accountability were repeatedly met with convoluted evasions, the artists chose to edit them out.

About WPFF

Since 2012, the Witness Palestine Film Festival has brought Palestinian cinema to our community in Rochester, NY. One of the first Palestine film festivals in our region, for nearly 14 years WPFF has created a space for community, cultural exchange, and witness centered on Palestine. The Witness Palestine Film Festival is the primary project of Rochester Witness for Palestine, a registered 501 (c)(3), that seeks justice and liberation for the people of Palestine wherever they may be. RW4P's motto "Come and see, go and tell" applies also to the work of WPFF, which aims to provide a space for reflection and discussion, as well as tools for action and change.
