GAZA.MP4, is a 2024 Palestinian movie, directed by Diaa Lagan and Fuad Halwani. with a runtime of 18 minutes.
GAZA.MP4 is an experimental documentary meditation on hope and survival set against the relentless backdrop of the war on Gaza following October 7th, 2023. The film centers on a disrupted correspondence between two friends — Diaa and filmmaker Mohannad — as Diaa requests his friend to capture raw mobile footage during his displacement journey across Gaza, Khan Yunis, and Rafah. Transmitted through Telegram to circumvent data restrictions, the footage is received and processed by Diaa into a record of ordinary life under extraordinary destruction. Using the chat window as a visual metaphor for modern anxiety and fragmented attention, the film is both an act of witness and a profound statement on human connection in the age of digital war documentation.
