Gaza 36mm
Gaza 36mm provides a small window into life in Gaza through the story of a once-popular cinema that has become a dump. The film reflects on the social, structural, and ideological causes of the devastation of cinema in the Gaza Strip, revealing a world that is consumed by the daily threat of death and devastation and has a bleak outlook toward art in general and cinema in particular.
