Each film, ranging in length from 3 to 6 minutes, presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. Chronicling the lives of people too often discussed in reference to numbers and refugee camps. From Ground Zero is an extraordinary time capsule, presenting a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow, joy and hope inherent in Gazan life.
Sheffield's Cinema Palestino started in 2009 with screenings around the 29th November, the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people. Cinema Palestino is now an annual feature at Showroom Cinema. With the key purpose to ensure a showing in the North of England of a Palestinian film, with less than 3% of films in the UK coming from the global south.
