No Other Land

The WA Premiere of this film made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective shows the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers.

One of the most important films of the year and winner of both the ‘Best Documentary’ and ‘Audience’ awards at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival, No Other Land is a sobering yet inspiring look at Palestinian resistance under occupation. Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist and lawyer from Masafer Yatta - a group of Palestinian villages in the southern West Bank - has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood - the largest single act of forced displacement ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. Striking up an unlikely friendship with Israeli investigative journalist Yuval Abraham, who lives a starkly different life to Adra, the two with the help of an Isreali-Palestinian filmmaking collective commit themselves to documenting and protesting the demolition of Palestinian communities in the West Bank. They film as the IDF destroys everything from homes, schools and playgrounds to ceiling up drinking wells in order to make a military training ground. One of the front-runners for the Best Documentary Oscar and an audience award winner at an assortment of festivals worldwide, No Other Land is a vital and inspiring testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people.
