‘No Other Land’, Oscar Nominated Documentary By Palestinian-Israeli Collective, Debuts At Film Forum – Specialty Preview


'No Other Land', the Oscar-nominated documentary by a collective of Palestinian and Israeli directors, opens today at the indie film box office.

The doc is written, directed, produced and edited by a collective of Palestinian and Israeli activists and filmmakers — Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. It predates the war but explores root causes of enmity as the filmmakers chronicle the Israeli military’s incremental expulsion of the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta — home to 20 ancient Palestinian villages. The film follows Beibei (Li Hehe), a recently unemployed 35-year-old woman who, in the early months of the pandemic, finds solace from an unfulfilling marriage in various affairs as she questions the social forces that have led her to this point of malaise.
