Fragmented

After 25 days of genocide, a pioneering Gazan journalist and former political prisoner flees to Malta, honoring his daughter’s plea for a future together. Fragmented captures memories of exile, the human cost of occupation, and an unbroken spirit resisting oppression—driven by belonging, memory, and the pursuit of justice in Palestine.

Shadi embarks on a secret adventure, and accidentally drags his family into a trap where they only have two choices; either collaborate with the Israeli occupation, or be shamed and humiliated by their own people.

Blood Like Water

Visiting the Dead is a documentary that follows Palestinian landowners as they make their annual visits to lands now trapped behind the Israeli separation wall, near the area of Jabal Abu Ghneim—today the site of the Har Homa settlement southeast of Bethlehem. These lands, once accessible and cultivated freely, are now subject to military restrictions and bureaucratic barriers imposed by the settler colonial regime. The film captures the intimate and emotional return of families to their confiscated lands, offering a window into the lived experience of dispossession. Through personal testimonies and observational sequences, it explores how these yearly visits become acts of resistance, remembrance, and connection to a disappearing landscape. At the heart of the film are broader themes: the ongoing processes of settler colonization, environmental degradation, the erosion of ancestral ties to land, and the shifting politics of land, identity, and futurity in Palestine. Visiting the Dead offers a grounded perspective on the slow violence of occupation and the resilience embedded in everyday Palestinian life. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C2c9safMIlB/?img_index=9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Learn More</a>
