Telling Gaza's story beyond the rubble

Culture 11:42 In this episode of Arts 24, Eve Jackson speaks with Arab Nasser, co-director of "Once Upon a Time in Gaza" – a striking, Cannes‑awarded film that reframes Gaza not through destruction, but through resilience, surrealism and cinematic boldness. Blending genre and personal memory, the film offers a hauntingly beautiful portrait of life under siege. Also featured: "Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk", a deeply moving documentary centered on Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona, who was killed by an Israeli air strike on April 16, just one day after the film was selected for Cannes' ACID sidebar. Her death underscores the urgency and danger of documenting life in Gaza. This episode also examines a rare exhibition of Gaza's ancient treasures at the Arab World Institute in Paris – a powerful reminder that Gaza is not only a site of suffering, but also of civilisation and cultural legacy.
