The Film Festival That Didn’t Make It To The Lame-Stream Media - Gaza

For most people it will be a news item they’ll never be aware of but on May 12 Gaza kicked off its first film festival.
The film festival was a 3-day event (May 12-14, 2015) and focused mainly on human rights, understandably, but shouldn’t be seen as any less important than the counterpart in Cannes for example. Especially when the stage of the events in Gaza is being considered.
The video of which I uploaded a copy due to its historical value, depicts a surrealistic setting of how and where the Gaza film festival was hosted. Surrounded by the completely destroyed neighborhood in Sheja’eya, rubble and debris – resulting from Israel’s crimes against humanity
– Palestinians found the courage to organize and attend a controversial event that, as far as I have been able to confirm, has not been covered by any mayor western news outlet. Even the so-called alternative media and activist movements have largely overlooked the epic event in Gaza.
For which these venues will all be remembered accordingly. It is clear what the agenda is that they are following which is why I urge all the readers here to share this video as much as you can. There’s a reason why the Gaza film festival and this video are not being reported adequately. But I know you are aware of that.
