In a statement, Giornate degli Autori and other members of the film world join in the solidarity expressed for the co-director of No Other Land over what he has been subjected to, along with thousands of other Palestinians in the last year and a half
Giornate degli Autori was pleased to learn of the release of Hamdan Ballal, co-director (with Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham, and Rachel Szor) of the Oscar®-winning documentary, No Other Land. Along with other members of the film world, we offer our own solidarity with Ballal over the experience that he has endured, as have thousands of other Palestinians for over a year and a half now.
The news of the violent attack on Ballal by Israeli settlers, and the absurdity of his arrest, devastated us last night. We at GdA, ever attuned to the political and moral narrative of the world we live in and mindful of those war-torn and strife-torn lands, will devote our unswerving attention to the evolution of this intolerable incident and its outcomes.
