The Oscar -winning documentary “No Land” founded in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where it must have a special resonance.
The Entertainment Company, the distributor, imagined in Dubai, acquired the rights of MENA from the Austrian automatic costume of the film in a timely manner, which is directed by a Palestinian -Israeli collective by four young activists: Hamdan Bali, Yoval Abraham, Rachel Sazour and Batel Adra. DOC, which chronicles the gradual demolition of Palestinian homes and villages in the Masifer Yata area in the West Bank by the Israeli military bulldozers, and recorded the best documentary award at the Berlin Film Festival last year – where it appeared for the first time – and continued to play on a large scale in the festival circle, and won another prize before other awards.
At the Academy Awards ceremony, the directors gave an excited speech: “We call on the world to take serious measures to stop injustice and prevent ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people,” said Adra, a Palestinian journalist and activist. “About two months ago, she became a father, and I hope that my daughter is that she will not have to live the same life that I live now …” There is no other land “that reflects the harsh reality that we have been enduring for decades and we are still resisting.”
Abraham, an Israeli journalist, talked about the strength of the film as a cooperation between the Israelis and the Palestinians. “Together, our voices are stronger,” he said. “We see each other – the destruction of Gaza and its people, which must end, the Israeli hostages, who were brutally taken in the October 7 crime, which must be liberated.”
Although “there is no other land”, after its launch in Berlin in 2024, it was sold automatically for dozens of regions-in that UK and France-it was struggled to find a house in the United States, where it was self-concerned by directors by directors who were groaning by MENA.
In the United States, “no other land” was shown for the first time on February 2 on one screen, with a total of $ 26,000, and gradually grew during the following weeks to exceed a mark of $ 1.2 million. She recently expanded to 120 screens and paid controversy along the way, as Mayor of Miami Beach Stephen Miner asks the city to end the lease agreement and withdraw financial support from an independent theater that displays the film. It was called “one -sided propaganda attack on the Jewish people, which does not correspond to the values of our city and our scale.” Since the Academy Awards ceremony, Palestinian rights groups have also criticized the film, claiming that the conditions of the boycott were violated, the campaign to dispose of sanctions, which opposes the Palestinians’ cooperation with Israeli companies operating in the West Bank.
“In a world full of dominant novels, it is necessary to consider various views,” Gianluka Shakkar, head of the front row, said in a statement. “This film presents a unique perspective, combining UN movie makers through Adel’s vision. The shots presented are remarkable and unparalleled. We have a duty to ensure that it reaches the masses.”
The front row said that she plans to release “no other land” a play in cinemas in the Middle East and North Africa region, followed by a distinct VOD version throughout the region.
