Film: From Ground Zero
Date: 6th February 2025. Time: 7PM ; Pre discussions: 6:30 Pm
Venue: Recirculation, 876 Riverside Drive, NYC
Note: All proceeds will go to the Masharawi Fund for films and filmmakers in Gaza.

In November 2023, Gaza-born Palestinian director Rashid Masharawi founded the Masharawi Fund for films and filmmakers in Gaza. Their first project sought to provide internally displaced artists — survivors of Israel’s relentless campaign of genocide, which has resulted in catastrophic humanitarian conditions, destruction, mass casualties, starvation, disease, and irreparable trauma for the people of Gaza — with a “canvas for the expression of personal stories.”

The resulting collection, From Ground Zero, features 22 three-to-six-minute short films (fiction, documentary, and experimental) directed by people in Gaza, sharing intimate portraits of life—joy, steadfastness, and dreams—calling the audience to bear witness to their lived experiences.
