Gaza's winter
Various directors - 2009 docu 38 min.
Gaza's Winter is a collection of 12 short films made by filmmakers from
around the world. Winter 2008: the bombardment of Gaza leaves some 1,417
Palestinians dead, over 10,000 homes destroyed and thousands severely and
permanently injured. As these agonies unfolded, a group of filmmakers based
in Ramallah met in an attempt to direct their outrage into a creative
collective effort. Filmmakers within and beyond Palestine were invited to
submit short works. The result was Gaza's Winter, a diverse and often
striking collection of global meditations on the war waged on Gaza that
winter. The collection comprises work by the following directors: Islam al
Burbar (Gaza), Tareq Elayyan (Gaza), Dima Hamdan (UK), Fahad Jabali
(Iceland), Pilar Tavora (Spain), Salim Abu Jabal (Golan Heights), George
Azar (Palestine/Jordan), Ismail Habbash (Ramallah), Mathieu Cauville
(France), Khmais Hmaid (Tunis), Raed al Helou (Ramallah), and Omar Hamilton
(UK). To arrange a screening of Gaza's Winter, please contact producer
