Palestine Cinema Days - Our second screening is a series of shorts uncovering the untold stories of women in Gaza, a testament to their resilience and strength amid war. Offering a deeply human perspective beyond the headlines, this series amplifies voices too often left unheard.
Fidaa
Directed by Khaled Tuaima
The film follows Fidaa Abu Maryam on her journey to wield storytelling as a psychological shield. By gathering the testimonies of Gazan women, she transforms their narratives into a living archive of feminist memory, defying oblivion and reclaiming the self from the heart of the ruins.
Maha
Directed by Moayed Abu Ammouneh
The film tells the story of Maha Abu Ammouneh, a displaced mother who, in the heart of genocide, becomes a mother, teacher, doctor, and refuge, reinventing life for her children from nothing through imagination and play to shield them from fear and create a safer world within the ruins.
Nour
Directed by Shorouq Al-Aila
The film follows Nour, a Palestinian journalist living through genocide between frontline reporting and displacement, as life inside a tent exposes the fragility of privacy, the body, and marriage, turning her daily existence into a silent struggle for dignity, voice, and humanity under constant threat.
Hadeel
Directed by Aisha Adly
Far from the news, a silent genocide seeks to crush the humanity and femininity of women in displacement camps. The film dives into spontaneous moments of shared storytelling, where displaced women gather to reclaim their selves through ancient rituals. It is their attempt to rebuild the fortress of femininity dismantled by displacement, a bold declaration that the dignity of the body is the enduring reflection of the soul amidst the ruins.
Join us at 6pm @ The Workspace/Collective Space
Following the screening there will be a discussion on how Palestinian women have long played an important role in resisting their people’s dispossession, and why Palestine is a feminist issue.
