The Cannes world premiere of Sepideh Farsi’s documentary “ Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk ” turned into a moving tribute to its protagonist Fatma Hassona, who was killed by an Israeli missile just weeks earlier. Hassona, a 25-year photojournalist who based in Gaza, was killed with her family by an Israeli missile that targeted her building in April, just a day after the film had been selected for Cannes. Signed by names such as Mark Ruffalo, Guy Pearce, Ralph Fiennes, Melissa Barrera, Yorgos Lanthimos, Javier Bardem, Hannah Einbinder, Pedro Almodóvar, David Cronenberg, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Leigh, Alex Gibney, Viggo Mortensen, Cynthia Nixon, Tessa Ross and many more, the letter also called out AMPAS for its “lack of support” for “No Other Land” co-director Hamdan Ballal after his arrest by the Israeli army.
