  5. oggi, 4 settembre, a roma (piazza vittorio): proiezione di “no other land” / in memoria di awdah hathaleen

    NO OTHER LAND

    Giovedì 4 settembre proiezione speciale all’Arena

    Notti di Cinema a Piazza Vittorio
    in memoria di Awdah Hathaleen

    Giovedì 4 settembre alle ore 20:30Notti di Cinema a Piazza Vittorio ospiterà la proiezione di No Other Land, vincitore dell’Oscar 2025 come Miglior Documentario. Ad introdurre la proiezione saranno: Riccardo Noury, portavoce di Amnesty International Italia, l’organizzazione per i diritti umani che ha dato il patrocinio al documentario, e Massimo Righetti, in rappresentanza di ANEC AGIS Lazio.

    L’evento vuole ricordare il coraggio e il sacrificio di Awdah Hathaleen, co-autore e protagonista del film, brutalmente ucciso il 28 luglio scorso da un colono israeliano, colpevole solo di difendere pacificamente la propria terra.

    La sua uccisione è parte di uno sterminio senza fine, che viola sistematicamente ogni diritto umano previsto anche dal codice Internazionale.

    No Other Land è oggi più che mai un’opera necessaria per contrastare lo sterminio del popolo Palestinese e lo fa attraverso lo sguardo diretto di chi, come Hathaleen, non ha mai smesso di credere nel potere del dialogo e del confronto pacifico.

    Padre di tre figli, insegnante, giornalista ex attivista politico, Hathaleen era un punto di riferimento per tutta la sua comunità. La sua vita – e la sua tragica morte – incarnano le tematiche centrali del documentario: la resistenza, il conflitto multigenerazionale, l’ingiustizia sistemica e il potere della testimonianza.

    L’obiettivo della serata è offrire uno spazio pubblico di memoria, denuncia e consapevolezza, per restituire dignità alla figura di Awdah Hathaleen e non permettere che la sua voce sia messa a tacere. Un’occasione anche per riflettere, insieme, sul significato profondo di No Other Land e sull’urgenza di trasformare lo sdegno in responsabilità.

    Un grido di dolore per dire BASTA FERMATEVI!!!!

    Synopsis:
    Depuis plus de 5 ans, Basel Adra, un activiste palestinien en Cisjordanie, filme l’expulsion de sa communauté par l'occupation israélienne qui détruit progressivement les villages et chasse ses habitants. Il rencontre Yuval, un journaliste israélien, qui le soutient dans ses démarches. Une amitié inattendue voit le jour. Ce film réalisé par un collectif palestino-israélien de quatre jeunes militants a été réalisé comme un acte de résistance créative sur la voie d'une plus grande justice.

    ================

    Hamdan Ballal Al-Huraini
    est un cinéaste et militant des droits de l'homme palestinien. En 2024, il co-réalise le documentaire No Other Land, qui remporte l'Oscar du meilleur film documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars le 2 mars 2025.

    Il a travaillé comme agriculteur, photographe et chercheur. Il est bénévole pour l'organisation israélienne de défense des droits de l'homme B'Tselem en tant que chercheur sur le terrain.

    En 2024, il co-réalise, aux côtés de Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham et Rachel Szor, le film documentaire No Other Land de 2024, sur les colonies israéliennes et la violence en Cisjordanie. En 2025, Le film est acclamé par la critique, remportant l'Oscar du meilleur long métrage documentaire lors de la 97e cérémonie des Oscars,.

    Le 24 mars 2025, Hamdan Ballal, est agressé à son domicile à Susya, dans le sud de la Cisjordanie, par des colons israéliens armés. Blessé et ensanglanté, il est évacué en ambulance, mais des soldats israéliens entrent dans l'ambulance et embarquent Hamdan Ballal. Deux autres Palestiniens sont également arrêtés, sans contact possible avec leur avocate. Il est relâché par les autorités israéliennes 24 heures après (25 mars 2025), ayant passé selon son avocate « la nuit menotté et les yeux bandés dans une base militaire (israélienne), tandis que deux soldats le rouaient de coups ». Selon Ouest France « ce harcèlement violent des villageois palestiniens est désormais quotidien en Cisjordanie occupée » et une « mise en abime » de son documentaire.

    -----------------

    Yuval Abraham
    est un journaliste d'investigation et réalisateur israélien.

    Il apprend l’arabe en partie grâce à l’un de ses grands-pères, originaire du Yémen. Une de ses grands-mères est née dans un camp de concentration italien en Libye et une partie de sa famille a été tuée pendant l’Holocauste. Grâce à sa maîtrise de la langue, qu’il enseigne en Israël en parallèle de ses premiers reportages dans des médias israéliens, comme le magazine +972, il participe à des actions pour empêcher les colons israéliens de détruire des maisons palestiniennes, en territoires occupés, en s’installant sur place dans des familles de Cisjordanie.

    En 2020, Yuval Abraham crée la plate-forme We Beyond the Fence (« Nous au-delà du mur »), avec Ahmed Alnaouq, un journaliste palestinien : le site propose des textes, traduits en hébreu, qui racontent le quotidien des Palestiniens de l’enclave sous blocus depuis 2007. Le projet est de faire entendre à un public israélien les « voix palestiniennes », après avoir mis en place une idée similaire, en anglais, sur We Are NOT Numbers ! (« Nous ne sommes pas des nombres »), dès 2014. Le projet s’arrête brusquement en novembre 2023, quand 21 membres de la famille d’Ahmed Alnaouq sont tués dans une frappe aérienne de l’armée israélienne.

    Il révèle pendant la guerre de Gaza l'existence du programme militaire d’intelligence artificielle Lavender (« lavande »), qui, au moyen d’algorithmes, a automatisé l’identification de cibles. Ce système a été largement utilisé au cours de cette guerre par l'armée israélienne pour déclencher des frappes aériennes responsables de milliers de morts civils. Il révèle également les pressions du Mossad contre la Cour pénale internationale (CPI) pour l’empêcher d'enquêter sur Israël. Il dispose de nombreux contacts dans le renseignement israélien.

    -----------------

    Basel Adra (ou Al-Adra)
    est un réalisateur, avocat et journaliste palestinien.
    Il a documenté les tentatives de Tsahal (Forces de défense israéliennes) d'expulser les villageois palestiniens de la Cisjordanie occupée et les violences commises par les colons israéliens.

    Adra est aussi activiste et photographe bénévole pour B'Tselem. Il travaille comme journaliste pour les publications en ligne +972 Magazine et Local Call avec le photojournaliste Oren Ziv, qui a écrit l'article de +972 Magazine suite aux allégations de Channel 12 contre al-Adra.

    En 2022, il a été agressé alors qu'il filmait les FDI en train de démolir une structure qu'il avait construite, et détenu dans des conditions difficiles après avoir filmé une attaque d'un coordinateur de la sécurité de l'armée israélienne en 2023.

    En 2021, les organes de presse HaKol HaYehudi et Channel 12 ont accusé al-Adra d'avoir mis le feu à un bâtiment dans les collines d'Hébron (Cisjordanie), affirmant qu'il avait tenté de faire porter le chapeau de l'incident à des colons juifs et à des soldats des Forces de défense israéliennes (FDI). Les images des caméras corporelles utilisées par Channel 12 montrent au contraire que l'incendie a été provoqué par une grenade lacrymogène tirée par l'armée israélienne et que l'on voit al-Adra tenter de l'éteindre. Depuis lors, Channel 12 News et les médias de droite en Israël n'ont pas réussi à fournir de preuves à l'appui de leurs allégations contre al-Adra, et la chaîne d'information a déclaré qu'elle n'avait pas l'intention d'enquêter plus avant sur l'incident.

    -----------------------

    Rachel Szor
    est une réalisatrice, scénographe et directrice de la photographie israélienne.

    Elle a fait ses débuts de réalisatrice avec le documentaire No Other Land, coréalisé avec Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham et Hamdan Ballal, dont la première a eu lieu au Festival du film de Berlin 2024. Cette œuvre lui a valu l'Oscar du meilleur documentaire.

  10. #Germany seeks to #deport #protesters

    Submitted by webadmin on 9 April, 2025

    "The German state has issued deportation orders for three #EUCitizens and one #American who have attended #ProPalestinian protests.

    "Berlin immigration authorities issued the orders on 31 March, demanding that the four individuals leave Germany within one month or else face deportation. Their orders cite a protest in October 2024 in which masked individuals caused 'significant property damage, including #graffiti', as well as resisting arrest and calling a #police officer a '#fascist'.

    "Unusually, three of the four orders also invoke the German principle of #Staatsräson, (“#StateReason”). This term originates from a speech #AngelaMerkel gave to the #IsraeliKnesset in 2008, asserting that #Israeli security was fundamental to the purpose of the German state.

    "Staatsräson is not an officially defined term or codified anywhere in the German constitution or by German courts. At least two of the protestors are appealing the decision, with their lawyer telling Al-Monitor that it is a 'political concept, not a legal concept, and therefore unlawful'.

    "In any case, the #deportation of #activists for #protesting should be opposed.

    #Khalil

    "The activists’ lawyer has drawn parallels to the case of #MahmoudKhalil in the US. 'I see similarities… It is weaponization of #ImmigrationLaw as a tool to silence #PoliticalDissent'. Khalil’s case may also lead to a debate on interpretations of the US constitution’s #FirstAmendment.

    "Back in February, #Berlin police broke up a protest, citing a ban on '#ArabicChanting', the playing of #ArabicMusic, or giving a speech in #Arabic. In October 2024, police raided the homes of five men, four of whom were being investigated over 'authorship of #antisemitic social media posts'.

    Clapping

    "And after the joint Israeli-Palestinian documentary #NoOtherLand won an Academy Award, German culture minister Claudia Roth insisted that she was only clapping for Israeli director Yuval Abraham, not Palestinian director #BaselAdra. Several politicians, including the mayor of Berlin, called for her resignation. A torrent of public criticism was aimed at #YuvalAbraham for his acceptance speech, to which he responded: 'To stand on German soil as the son of Holocaust survivors and call for a ceasefire — and to then be labelled as antisemitic is not only outrageous, it is also literally putting Jewish lives in danger.'

    "Israeli politicians cited German politicians when attacking the filmmakers themselves, and only weeks later, co-director #HamdanBallal was attacked by #IsraeliSettlers in the #WestBank, and removed from an ambulance by #IDF soldiers.

    "German Staatsräson is less about assuring Israel’s right to exist, and more about giving a free hand to the #repressive policies of the Israeli right."

  15. #Palestinian Filmmaker Demands End to US-Backed '#EthnicCleansing' of #Gaza, #WestBank in Oscar Speech

    "There is a different path, a political solution without #EthnicSupremacy," said Israeli filmmaker Yuval Abraham. "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path."

    by Julia Conley, Mar 03, 2025

    "The winner of the 2025 #AcademyAward for Best Documentary Feature Film has been unable to obtain distribution in #theaters or on #StreamingPlatforms in the U.S.—despite being the highest-grossing Oscar-nominated documentary in the rest of the world—but American viewers were able to hear directly from its filmmakers on Sunday night in speeches that condemned the U.S.-backed 'ethnic cleansing' of Palestinians.

    "The directors behind #NoOtherLand, Israeli journalist #YuvalAbraham and Palestinian activist and lawyer #BaselAdra, accepted the Oscar while speaking out about the subject matter of their film, which was filmed between 2019-23, before Israel began its bombardment of Gaza in retaliation for a Hamas-led attack.

    "'When I look at Basel, I see my brother, but we are not equal,' Abraham said. 'We live under a regime where I enjoy freedom under civil law, and where he is governed by military laws.'

    "Adra and Abraham made the film to tell the story of #MasaferYatta, a collection of towns in the occupied #WestBank where Adra lives and where Israeli authorities and settlers have been attacking and evicting residents for years—claiming Israel has a right to use the land for a military training facility. The film chronicles Israeli soliders' killing of Adra's brother and their attacks on West Bank communities by demolishing homes, tearing down playgrounds, and filling water wells with cement so Palestinians cannot rebuild."

  17. #NoOtherLand,’ an #Israeli-#Palestinian collaboration, wins Oscar for best documentary

    By HANNAH SCHOENBAUM
    Updated 11:51 PM EST, March 2, 2025

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — "'No Other Land,' the story of Palestinian activists fighting to protect their communities from demolition by the Israeli military, won the Oscar for best documentary on Sunday.

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — "'No Other Land,' the story of Palestinian activists fighting to protect their communities from demolition by the Israeli military, won the Oscar for best documentary on Sunday.

  19. En janvier, j'étais avec la #FIDH chez #BaselAdra à #MasaferYatta en #Palestine.
    Ce dimanche, je lui souhaite un #Oscars2025 pour son docu "No Other Land". Basel est un résistant. Il a filmé la destruction progressive par l'armée israélienne des villages de sa terre natale, déclarée zone de tir par #Israël, dont le plan est clair: prendre un maximum de terres au Palestinies avec un minimum de Palestiniens dessus.

    Film screening:
    Sun, Oct 6, 2024

    Part of #NYFF62 at #BAM and #BAMFilm2024

    Directed by #BaselAdra, #HamdanBallal, #YuvalAbraham, #RachelSzor (2024)

    "This eye-opening, vérité-style documentary, made by a #Palestinian-#Israeli collective of four directors over the course of five years, provides a harrowing account of the systematic onslaught of destruction experienced by Masafer Yatta, a group of Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank, at the hands of the Israeli military. Headed by Palestinian activist Basel Adra and Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham (also two of the film’s directors), the collective commits itself to filming and protesting the demolitions of homes and schools and the resulting displacement of their inhabitants, which were carried out to make way for Israeli military training ground. In addition to the indelible footage of destruction and expulsion captured by its undaunted witnesses, No Other Land serves as a moving portrait of friendship between Adra and Abraham, who form a philosophical and political alliance despite the drastic differences in their abilities to exist freely in this world. Winner of the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2024 Berlinale."

  23. “There is No Nice Way to Bulldoze a School”: #BaselAdra and #YuvalAbraham on #NoOtherLand

    by Nicolas Rapold

    on Feb 27, 2024

    "Co-directed by an #IsraeliPalestinian collective of four, No Other Land was filmed in the #WestBank, in Masafer Yatta, where Israeli military and increasingly civilians have forced #Palestinians out from their villages. Premiered at the 74th Berlinale, the debut feature won both the juried documentary award and the Audience Award in its section, Panorama—amply deserved honors for its adroit, affecting and infuriating portrayal of a tight-knit Palestinian community resisting Israel’s relentless campaign of expulsion. Basel Adra and Yuval Abraham, two of the co-directors, are also extensively on screen. Adra, whose father was also an activist, offers the film’s primary eyes and ears, both through the offenses he hustles to record at mortal risk—he’s essentially a war photographer who lives inside the war—and through the archival video that conveys his memories of growing up there. Abraham, an Israeli journalist, befriends Adra in the course of reporting, and the two grow closer as he gets invested in the survival of Adra’s community, whose adults and children we see menaced, shot at and pushed into living in a cave as homes, a schoolhouse and other buildings are demolished.

    "The film’s excellence and the courage required to make it are worth underlining amid the fractious politics of this year’s Berlinale, which was lambasted for policing speech about the very issues addressed so cogently by a film the festival programmed and honored. (The latest news at press time was a bizarre clarification from the German Ministry of Culture that the Culture Minister’s applause at the prize ceremony was intended only for the Israeli member of the No Other Land filmmaking team, i.e., Abraham, and not Adra. Abraham reported death threats after making his acceptance speech, whose words echoed his answers here.) But when I interviewed Adra and Abraham in a lounge tucked away in the Palast, it was barely midway through the festival, and they were only two screenings into a festival edition that would be defined by the strength of its nonfiction selection—perhaps none quite so urgent and on point as No Other Land."

    “For as long as he can remember, #BaselAdra has been capturing his community’s slow eradication and displacement from Masafer Yatta in the #WestBank, #Palestine. His camera, always by his side on the frontlines, documents the escalating and evolving forms of aggression over time. The lens captures events, moments in between, and the longitudinal nature of this struggle. It falls to the ground, remains active, and is picked up by an offscreen body—Basel’s—as he runs, the image persists. The lens demands that we impassively bear witness. #YuvalAbraham, an Israeli activist and journalist, unwaveringly supports Basel and the community, yet the limitations of their relationship, given their disproportionately unequal lived experiences, begin to reveal themselves."
