No Other Land

Basel ADRA, Hamdan BALLAL, Yuval ABRAHAM, Rachel SZOR Palestine/ Nepal

Jury Comment This film depicts the small Palestinian village of Masafer Yatta, where residents have been stripped of their right to live. As suggested by the title No Other Land, not only the film depicts the story of residents who have lost their village, but also implies that in the face of ongoing threats of war, there is no longer land of safety. We all hope for a better life. Reflecting on their deprivation of the right to envision a future, we have chosen this work as the winner for capturing what should not be forgotten.
