Free Talk: No Other Land

Update: This free Talk has been cancelled. Read a statement from the filmmakers here.

Since its premiere at the Berlinale in February, the remarkable documentary No Other Land, directed by a collective of four Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers, has cut a blazing, award-winning trail through festivals worldwide, not least for its startling timeliness. Depicting the rare friendship and joint struggle of two young journalists—Basel Adra, a Palestinian Arab resident of Masafer Yatta in the West Bank, and Yuval Abraham, an Israeli Jew from Jerusalem—as they document and oppose the expulsion of the residents of Masafer Yatta by Israeli forces, No Other Land is a testament to the Palestinian people’s long history of resistance to Israeli occupation, and to the power and possibility of solidarity even in the most unexpected and difficult circumstances. We are thrilled to invite directors Adra and Abraham for an in-depth conversation about the making of the movie, shooting and editing a film in volatile and dangerous circumstances, and the role of documentary in the face of political violence.

Free tickets for NYFF62 Talks will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis beginning one hour prior to each event at the corresponding box office. Tickets are limited to one per person, subject to availability.
