Palestinian Stories Set for Major Presence at the 2027 Oscars

Palestinian stories are reaching global audiences through cinema, and a record number of films built around them are expected to receive Oscar nominations next year.

Among them is 'Who Is Still Alive,' which Switzerland has submitted as its entry for Best International Feature Film at the 2027 Academy Awards.

Al Jazeera spoke with the film's director and cast about how stories of Palestinian experience are now claiming more space at international film festivals and awards stages than at any time before.

The wide presence of Palestinian stories heading into the 2027 Oscars adds a new dimension both to how the region's narratives are told on screen and to how they are received worldwide.
