WAITING FOR GAZA
2021, dirs. Guillaume Kozakiewiez
France, 74min.
In Arabic with English subtitles
Waiting for Gaza follows Arab and Tarzan Abu Nasser to the heart of their twinship, as well as their history of both what haunts them and pushes them to do cinema. Little by little, their life and work merge, as the line between reality and fiction fades away, blurring the tracks.
