YALLAH GAZA
2023, dir. Roland Nurier
France, 101 mins
In French, Arabic and English (with English Subtitles)
YALLAH GAZA explores historical and geopolitical aspects, Palestinian politics, International Law and records. The film bears witness to their “fury to live” and the daily struggle that keeps despair at bay as Palestinians pass this flame, their culture and their land, from one generation to the next.
Post-film virtual interview with Director Roland Nurier
Preceded by the short film:
LE RÉEL QUI ME DÉPASSE / THE REALITY THAT SURPASSES ME
2023, dir. Jihen Sebai, 8 min.
The film is a docufiction inspired by the October 7th war between Israel and Gaza. In it, a Tunisian director attempts to make a film about the atrocity of the war against the Palestinians but feels powerless in the face of the war’s brutality.
Director Jihen Sebai will be in attendance
