About this Event
Red Carpet in Gaza
We were amazed and inspired to learn that not one, but two Film Festivals have taken place in the displacement camps of southern Gaza this year.
We bring you a selection of the best films screened at both festivals: "Creators Despite Displacement” - the Al-Quds (Jerusalem) International Film Festival marking its 7th year – and Al-Aouda Festival, in its 8th year.
With equipment frequently destroyed, many of the poignant films depicting perspectives and feelings on the current reality were shot on phones. Red carpets were rolled out among the tents and rubble.
We have secured inspiring interviews recorded specially for us with the Directors and audience members of the Festivals.
Both Festivals are testaments to the incredible steadfastness, defiance and love of life shown by Gaza’s film-makers.
