Overview

Gaza 36mm is a documentary that uses the disappearance of cinema in Gaza as a lens through which to examine the city's broader condition. Treating the city's destroyed and shuttered cinema houses as a cinematographic code, the film reads the cultural wreckage wrought by ideological pressure and armed conflict as a metaphor for loss on a vast scale. At the centre of the film is a landfill that once served as a cinema — a stark symbol of what the siege has turned vibrant communal life into. Equal parts elegy and testimony, Gaza 36mm interprets a reality that tilts far more towards the game of death than of life, using the remnants of a film culture to speak about survival, memory, and the spaces that sustain — or are denied to — a people.
