At the Cannes opening ceremony, juror Juliette Binoche passionately addressed the death of Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona, emphasizing cinema’s role in confronting Gaza's ongoing suffering. A documentary featuring Hassona, alongside other films like Nadav Lapid’s Yes!, illustrates the harsh realities of life in Gaza and critiques socio-political dynamics. With the film industry often slow to react, this collective focus on Gaza issues reflects a growing commitment to storytelling that bears witness to human suffering.
"Juliette Binoche at Cannes reminded us that the ongoing brutality in Gaza is an urgent issue for the film industry to confront, particularly through documentary storytelling."
"Fatma Hassona's life and tragic death underscore the need for cinematic narratives that authentically depict the harsh realities faced by Palestinians in Gaza."
