Palestinian Documentary ‘No Other Land’ Triumphs at Independent Spirit Awards

This compelling film, crafted by a collective of four young Palestinian-Israeli activists, serves as a powerful act of creative resistance aimed at advancing justice.

 

No Other Land, an Oscar-nominated documentary from this Palestinian-Israeli collective, has recently secured the documentary prize at the Independent Spirit Awards.

 

Directed by Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham, and Rachel Szor in their debut as directors, this film stands as a testament to resistance, chronicling the ongoing conflict in the region. A collaboration between Palestine and Norway, it premiered at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival, where it garnered both the Panorama Audience Award for Best Documentary and the Berlinale Documentary Film Award.

 

No Other Land offers a poignant glimpse into life in Masafer Yatta, a rural area in the West Bank where Palestinian villagers are continually threatened with expulsion by the Israeli Defense Forces, who assert claims to the land for military training purposes.

 

The documentary follows the journey of Adra, a passionate young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, as he battles against the mass displacement of his community. Since childhood, Adra has documented the demolition of homes and the forced removal of residents under military occupation. His narrative intertwines with that of Abraham, an Israeli journalist who stands in solidarity with his cause. However, the stark contrast between their realities—Adra living under occupation and Abraham enjoying freedom—adds complexity to their collaboration.

 

Filmed over four years from 2019 to 2023, the documentary concluded production in October 2023, delivering a deeply personal and urgent portrayal of life under occupation.
