A user on x.com has complained of Google taking down an index of list of films made by Palestinians or films about Palestine called ‘The Palestinian Film Index’.

Palestine Film Index is a list of films from and about Palestine and the Palestinian struggle for liberation, made by Palestinians and those in solidarity with them. It starts with the militant films of the revolutionary period from 1968-1982 and it extends through a multitude of voices to the present day. It is by no means a complete or exhaustive representation of the vast universe that is Palestinian cinema, but only a small fragmentary list that we hope nonetheless can be used as an instrument of study, solidarity, and resistance.

received a message that evil ass g**gle has restricted access to Palestine Film Index due to some anonymous complaint. there are backups to a point, as we had intuited this would likely happen. will be requesting a “review” but will also be working to get it back online elsewhere https://t.co/E5kopC8Bkk pic.twitter.com/aJqtnhxGXp

In his now pinned post (as of August 22, 2026) he posts a link to an alternative hosting of the film index of Proton files: https://drive.proton.me/urls/J6PQSZ98NM#23Y1mEJAXWvo

As a backup, I have also exported the list to CSV and saved it on this website (2026-08-22). You can download the list here:
