West Norwood 4 Palestine Free Film Festival Screening 5: 'Short Films Night'

 Join us for Night 5 of our Free Palestine Film Festival in Herne Hill at Off The Cuff (over 18s only). 

We’re excited to screen a collection of short films from Gaza, including London Film Festival and La Gala Quebec Cinema winner, Vibrations From Gaza (2024), and Tour de Gaza (2019). 

Vibrations From Gaza is a glimpse into the resilience of Palestinian Deaf children in Gaza: enduring Israel's military attacks, highlighting their remarkable spirit and perseverance.

 Flavia Capellini’s Tour de Gazatells the story of twenty-two-year-old Alaa AlDali who trained daily in the 40-km long, conflict-ridden Gaza Strip. Despite being the fastest Palestinian road cyclist, he was repeatedly refused permission to travel abroad for competitions. Until one day, he was shot by an Israeli sniper while protesting his immobility. This short documentary follows Alaa’s physical rehabilitation and his new struggle to be a paracyclist under the Gaza blockade. Tour de Gaza takes us through this inaccessible landscape on the wheels of this ambitious cyclist, as he maintains steadfast to compete at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.
