FFIPP Switzerland and EthnoKino invites you to the film screening of “Between Two Crossings” with film researcher Shurouq Aila.
BETWEEN TWO CROSSINGS by Yaser Murtaja (2018) 42 min, Palestine, Arabic/English
Between Two Crossings is a documentary that follows the journey of a Palestinian student from Gaza, Nour, who had a scholarship to enrol in Portland State University in the United States. In order to be there, Nour struggled to find a way to travel through the only two gates separating the Gaza Strip from the rest of the world: Erez Checkpoint, controlled by Israel; and Rafah Crossing, controlled by Egypt. This documentary was directed by Palestinian journalist and filmmaker from Gaza, Yasser Murtaja, who was killed by an Israeli sniper while covering the protest of Great March of Return on April 6, 2018.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the researcher of the filmaking team, Shurouq Aila.
