Introduction and Post-Screening Discussion

A filmmaker connects with a Palestinian woman in Gaza who documents life under bombardment. After more than 200 days of digital exchanges, the meaning shifts after an Israeli attack.

During early 2024, Sepideh Farsi, an Iranian filmmaker living in exile in Paris, travels to Cairo hoping to cross the border and document the ongoing war in Gaza, but is prevented entering by the blockade imposed by Israel.

Farsi, instead, documents the war through video calls interviews with photojournalist Fatima Hassouna, who lives alongside her family in a small apartment in the devastated Northern Gaza. The video calls are intertwined with Hassouna's photojournalism work, which was mainly focused on the children's suffering.
