Award-winning film on Gaza showing in Malanda
THE multi-award-winning film “No Other Land” will be screening at the Majestic Theatre in Malanda later this month.
The 2024 documentary film was nominated for an Oscar despite limited release in the US, and condemnation by Israeli officials and has won over 30 film documentary awards throughout the world.
The film was directed by Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, and Rachel Szor, a Palestinian-Israeli collective of activists who met in Gaza.
Recorded between 2019 and 2023, it shows the destruction of a Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank, which had been resisting forced displacement after an Israeli “firing zone” was declared on their land.
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 90 critics’ reviews were positive, with an average rating of 8.9/10.
The website’s consensus reads: “An elegantly assembled diary of the Palestinian experience, No Other Land is a harrowing document that leaves traces of hope for a better future.”
The film is a fundraiser for the Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association (PANZA) with 100% of profits going toward medical aid in Gaza.
“No Other Land” will screen at 4.30pm on Sunday 29 June at the Majestic Theatre in Malanda.
