Gaza Cinema Academy Launches At Venice Film Festival To Help Gazans Tell Their Own Stories

Comments

1. Amir: seems like a nice PR stunt but what's the plan for actually helping them tell their own stories? how many Gazans are on the board of this thing?
2. Aidenkaur: it's great that something like this is finally happening, but let's not forget why most Gazans can't tell their own stories - until someone lets them back to their homes and
3. Sana: I've been following the Gaza situation for years - seeing their stories told by others always feels like it's someone else's voice. This initiative has my full support, hoping it helps
4. Mayaweber: someone finally making use of that talent that's been stifled for far too long
5. Sofia: I'm not sure who thought this was a good idea - launching a film academy in Gaza right now. Don't get me wrong, I think it's amazing that people are trying
6. Theo: not sure why this is just getting coverage now, given how relevant arts initiatives are to this crisis
7. Kai: they're saying you can tell people's stories through film, but what about their daily struggles with water and electricity
8. Mila: love that they're letting locals be the ones telling their own stories, hope it can help amplify some much-needed voices from there
9. Iron Specter: it's ironic they're celebrating art when the only thing getting made is rubble
10. Shadow Sparrow: it's wild they're talking about cinema when people are still stuck in shelters. hope the project brings something concrete to change their reality
11. Iris: reminds me of those early days when you could catch a rare art screening here before everyone else got on board. What do they hope to achieve now?
