Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham, Hamdan Ballal, Rachel Szor – Palestine, 2024 – 95 minutes – spoken language: Arabic, Hebrew, English, with English subtitles
In No Other Land we follow Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta on the West Bank, who since his youth has been fighting against the mass expulsion of his community by the Israeli authorities. He documents the destruction of villages in his region, where Israeli soldiers are gradually demolishing homes and driving out residents. At one point he meets Yuval, an Israeli journalist, and an unlikely friendship develops between them. Although Yuval supports Basel in his efforts, their bond is strained by the huge inequality: Basel lives under military occupation, while Yuval can travel freely and without restrictions.
No Other Land, made by a four-person Palestinian−Israeli collective, functions as an act of creative resistance and strives for justice in the ongoing conflict. The documentary had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in early 2024 and has since been shown at various international festivals. It has won several awards, including the Public Award at the most recent edition of IDFA. “Controversial documentary No Other Land is the must-see documentary of the year” (NRC)
