2:30pm session:
Zoo
Wandering through the ‘worst Zoo in the world’, a young boy Sami is looking for his football.
Alam
Despite being part of a young generation of Palestinians whose families chose to stay and challenge the Israeli state after Al-Nakba, 17-year-old Tamer and his friends are just like any other group of teenage boys. They clumsily search for drugs, flirt with girls, play video games, and slack off at school.
4:30pm session:
Gaza Surf Club
A close-knit community of surfers in Gaza tenaciously pursues their passion despite the formidable challenges imposed by the blockade. Constructing their surfboards from recycled materials, the surfers form strong bonds as they engage in competitions, organise surf camps, and celebrate their passion together.
