A powerful act of witness and remembrance, this urgent, deeply personal documentary unfolds through video calls between filmmaker Sepideh Farsi and 25-year-old Palestinian photojournalist and poet Fatma Hassona. Their connection bridges both geography and grief, offering a rare, unfiltered window into daily life inside Gaza. Hassona’s grace, resilience, and luminous spirit ground the film in a quiet strength. Tragically, an Israeli missile strike killed Hassona and her family just one day after the film’s selection by the Cannes Film Festival. What remains is a poetic collaboration turned posthumous elegy—and a vital testament to the lives and stories that refuse to be silenced.
The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Sepideh Farsi.
