The Other
New York Jewish Film Festival 2025
January 15 - 29, 2025
Following Israeli and Palestinian subjects working toward connection and hope rather than division and bloodshed, Joy Sela’s documentary shares the voices of peace activists on both sides—humans fighting for the dignity and equality of all in the wake of deeply tragic personal loss. Note: some images may be disturbing.
Post-screening discussion with director Joy Sela
At a moment when it increasingly seems there’s no escape from the polarization of politics and ideology, Joy Sela’s documentary about the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, filmed from 2017 to this year, is an inspiring revelation. Following Israeli and Palestinian subjects working toward connection and hope rather than division and bloodshed, The Other shares the voices of peace activists on both sides—humans fighting for the dignity and equality of all in the wake of deeply tragic personal loss. Sela’s film charts the history of the conflict up through the October 7 attacks and subsequent violence. Reflective of its American-Israeli filmmaker’s own personal, transformative journey, this is a thoughtful, intellectually enriching work of nonfiction that communicates the possibility of change when one confronts the self as much as the beliefs of one’s society at large. Note: some images may be disturbing.
