Despite potential restrictions on international media in Gaza, the Cannes film festival will spotlight the ongoing conflict through multiple films, notably the documentary featuring Fatima Hassouna, a Gazan photojournalist killed in an Israeli airstrike. The festival aims to raise awareness, particularly after the heightened violence following Hamas's attack on Israel. Prominent actors are expected to comment on the situation, with references to the region's tragic circumstances and the controversial plans to redevelop Gaza into a resort area. This year's festival continues its engagement with political themes, particularly focusing on the plight of Gazans.
The documentary ‘Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk’ highlights the tragedy of a young Gazan photojournalist Fatima Hassouna, killed in an Israeli airstrike just after her film's selection for Cannes.
Actor Tilda Swinton in February condemned the ongoing conflict, referring to it as 'internationally enabled mass murder' while linking it to the controversial idea of transforming Gaza into a luxury destination.
