About Kawader
Palestine's first cinema & AV rental house — built by filmmakers, for filmmakers
Our Story
Founded in 2023 in Ramallah, Kawader Art Productions & Film Services was created to address the specific struggles of Palestine's growing film industry.
We saw filmmakers struggling to find reliable equipment, lacking spaces for collaboration, and working in isolation. Kawader was built to change that — providing not just gear, but a creative ecosystem where Palestinian cinema can thrive.
From a single room of equipment to over 550 items across 8 categories, we've grown into Palestine's most comprehensive cinema rental service. But we're more than a rental shop — we're a production house, a community hub, and a launchpad for independent storytelling.
Our Mission
To eliminate barriers, strengthen our artistic community, and amplify authentic Palestinian narratives — from providing reliable equipment to fostering collaboration.
Our Vision
To be the foundational infrastructure for Palestinian filmmaking — the space, the tools, and the community that makes independent cinema possible.
Our Values
