No Other Land (2024 🇵🇸), directed by Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham, Hamdan Ballal, Rachel Szor

Since this film debuted at the Berlin Film Festival in February, where it won both the Panorama Audience Award and the Best Documentary Award, in this country we have seen an active service member self-immolate in protest of the U.S. Army's part in the genocide currently happening in Gaza. Despite the act being broadcast on livestream, the media misrepresented his intentions, and, in what seemed like minutes, the country moved on. In a world where video footage as a tool to speak truth to power seems to have lost its efficacy, No Other Land exists more as a form of resistance. As a form of witness. As proof of the Palestinian people's unwavering endurance, and as a document of their very existence.

[KVIFF Review] This is a Story of Power: "No Other Land"

[jackoshadows]

Palestinian & Israeli filmmakers, Basel Adra & Yuval Abraham, win for Best Documentary at Berlinale, for their film 'No Other Land' - about Israeli settler violence. They call for an end to the Occupation and apartheid & urge Germany to "stop sending weapons to Israel"

Yuval Abraham explains so concisely the nature of apartheid enforced in Israel and occupied Palestine.

" I want to say that we are standing in front of you, me and Basel are the same age. I am Israeli, Basel is Palestinian. And in two days we go back to a land where we are not equal. I am living under a civilian law and Basel is under military law. We live 30 minutes from one another, but I have voting rights and Basel does not have voting rights. I am free to move where I want in this land. Basel is like millions of Palestinians locked in occupied West Bank. This situation of apartheid between us, this inequality, it has to end. We ask, how we can make a change, to end the occupation, to move for a political solution. We don't really have an answer but we want for people to really stand up. There is a lot of powerful people in this room, a lot of ministers and people whose voices are heard. We need to call for a ceasefire. We need to call for a political solution to end the occupation."

Yuval Abraham is now getting death threats after Israeli TV called him an anti-semite!

The Berlinale film festival is being investigated for anti-semitism.

And the German ministery of culture wanted to emphasize how racist they are by releasing a statement that when "No Other Land" received a prize, green Minister Claudia Roth was only clapping for the Jewish-Israeli member of the filmmaking team and not the Palestinian.

Because apparently even applauding a Palestinian for winning an award is bad in Germany....
