Walled Off
A secret museum in an art hotel located near the Israeli West Bank barrier sparks intrigue when it’s revealed to be a creation of controversial artist Banksy. Walled Off journeys through the hotel with “the worst view in the world” as well as Occupied Palestine, and a lesser-known yet relevant past to highlight the importance of creative resistance as a form of protest.

American Film Director and Producer of Palestinian and Italian descent Vin Arfuso, has teamed up with American-Palestinian-Dutch Model, Activist Musician and Film Producer Anwar Hadid, English Musician and Co-Founder of legendary rock band Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, and grandson of anti-apartheid revolutionary and former South African President Nelson Mandela, Kweku Mandela, who has produced and directed various films, to release a film/documentary on Palestine. Whilst they may all come from different backgrounds, together they all share one common goal: to be an active agent in the fight to Free Palestine.

The film, named Walled Off, references The Walled Off Hotel, designed by iconic anonymous artist Banksy, and is located in Bethlehem. The hotel is named after the West Bank Wall, built by Israel to separate Palestinians and block their entry. Boasted as having “the worst view in the world,” the hotel references the view and reality of most Palestinians living under apartheid: a 708 km concrete wall which represents the racial segregation they witness everyday. For years, Banksy has used his artwork to address social, political and humanitarian injustices around the world, and Palestinians are no exception to this.
