96 minutes | Palestine, Norway
As Basel Adra documents the destruction of his community under Israeli occupation, he forms a friendship and working relationship with Yuval Abraham, an Israeli journalist. Despite the immensely challenging production circumstances, No Other Land is a powerfully cogent film, blending archive material from Adra’s childhood with recently shot footage from Palestine. Directed under the aegis of a Palestinian-Israeli film collective comprising Adra, Abraham, Rachel Szor and Hamdan Ballal, this is a skilfully crafted, bold and – now more than ever – essential story. Bearing witness to the everyday horrors of life under occupation, and the stark inequality it gives rise to, this is a welcome and urgent call for a radical shift in political, social and cultural thinking.
Content Guidance: Film contains scenes of war and offensive language.
