Filmlab Palestine ~GAZAWYAT

A short documentary series uncovering the untold stories of women in Gaza, a testament to their resilience and strength amid war Join us in collaboration with Filmlab Palestine's Cinema Days Across the World for a screening of Gazawyat. A short documentary series uncovering the untold stories of women in Gaza, a testament to their resilience and strength amid war. Offering a deeply human perspective beyond the headlines, this series amplifies voices too often left unheard. FidaaDirected by Khaled Tuaima The film follows Fidaa Abu Maryam on her journey to wield storytelling as a psychological shield. By gathering the testimonies of Gazan women, she transforms their narratives into a living archive of feminist memory, defying oblivion and reclaiming the self from the heart of the ruins. MahaDirected by Moayed Abu Ammouneh The film tells the story of Maha Abu Ammouneh, a displaced mother who, in the heart of genocide, becomes a mother, teacher, doctor, and refuge, reinventing life for her children from nothing through imagination and play to shield them from fear and create a safer world within the ruins. Nour Directed by Shorouq Al-Aila The film follows Nour, a Palestinian journalist living through genocide between frontline reporting and displacement, as life inside a tent exposes the fragility of privacy, the body, and marriage, turning her daily existence into a silent struggle for dignity, voice, and humanity under constant threat. HadeelDirected by Aisha Adly Far from the news, a silent genocide seeks to crush the humanity and femininity of women in displacement camps. The film dives into spontaneous moments of shared storytelling, where displaced women gather to reclaim their selves through ancient rituals. It is their attempt to rebuild the fortress of femininity dismantled by displacement, a bold declaration that the dignity of the body is the enduring reflection of the soul amidst the ruins. Venue details The screening will take place in the Hall at Collective Space The Hall is on ground level and wheelchair accessible, with accessible toilet.
