This is a great list developing. Could I add two more films:
And Still they Dance (made collaboratively by Palestinian youth in Gaza and Sheffield PSC
Arna's Children Dir: Danniel Danniel, Juliano Mer-Khamis (2004)

This is a wonderful list coming together, and I'd like to add if I may:
The work done under the auspices of Just Vision that has produced the following films:
Encounter Point (Ronit Avni and Julia Bacha)
Budrus (produced by Ronit Avni, Julie Bacha and Rula Salameh)
Home Front: Portraits from Sheikh Jarrah (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQmrCwGD9jM)
(Note: Just Vision may not always meet the requirements of this list, located in both Washington, DC and East Jerusalem-- the organisation comprises activists and media makers from Palestine, Israel, the Americas and Asia but the mission is always to foreground life of Israelis and Palestinians working (sometimes together, sometimes not) to end the occupation.)
Also to add:
Annamarie Jacir's Salt of this Sea (2008) (and which features the wonderful Saleh Bakri, seen in many films, including Suleiman's The Time that Remains).
Shlomi Elkabetz's Edut/Testimony uses actor who perform the stories of Palestinians and Israeli officers. I'm torn on this film (it sometimes borders on kitsch for me, and I'm still not sure how I feel about this performance) but thought to add it anyway.
These just came to mind immediately although I've just started to think about the work of video artist David Reeb, who chronicled many of the Nabi Saleh protests.
