Palestine Cinema Days: With Hasan in Gaza + Talk with Kamal Aljafari
-
To mark International Palestine Cinema Day, we are partnering with ALFILM to present Kamal Aljafari’s moving, multi-award-winning film With Hasan in Gaza, followed by a discussion with the director (via Zoom). The film is “a tribute to Gaza and its people, to everything that has been wiped out and that came back to my mind at this critical moment in Palestinian existence—or non-existence. It is a film about catastrophe and about a poetry that resists. This is the first film I haven’t directed.” (Kamal Aljafari)
This event replaces the November ALFILM Wednesday, which normally takes place on the first Wednesday of each month.
Three MiniDV tapes of life in Gaza from 2001 were recently rediscovered. What started as a search for a former prison mate from 1989 led to an unexpected road trip from the north to the south of Gaza with Hasan, a local guide whose fate remains unknown.
A cinematic reflection on memory, loss, and the passage of time, capturing a Gaza of the past and lives that may never be found again.
