NO OTHER LAND
2024-10-14 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Scandinavia House, 58 Park Avenue, New York, NY, 10016, United States
On October 14, see No Other Land, a Norwegian-produced, vérité-style documentary by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four directors. *A film talk and Q&A follows the screening with co-directors Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham, and Rachel Szor.*
Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta as soldiers destroy the homes of families — the largest single act of forced transfer carried out in the occupied West Bank. After he crosses paths with Yuval Abraham, a young Israeli journalist, the two spend half a decade fighting the expulsion. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel lives under a brutal military occupation, and Yuval is unrestricted and free. Created during the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, No Other Land was filmed by Basel and Yuval alongside two fellow activists — Isareli Rachel Szor and Palestinian Hamdan Ballal. The film is an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice. (Norway & Palestine, 2024).
