 accepted\n\nCritical Voices from Gaza\n\nThe Other  (Joy Sela, 2024, 101 
 min, Palestine & Israel)\n\nSeven years in the making, including before and 
 after October 7th, this is a hopeful film focusing on Israeli & Palestinian 
 peace-builders, anti-occupation activists, artists, academics, ex-fighters, 
 bereaved parents and many more living the reality on the ground. Whether in 
 non-violent co-resistance, peace-building, or shared community, we witness 
 those who have only known each other through hate, bloodshed, inequality, 
 and war, transcend beyond narratives & belief systems. They teach us that 
 unlearning deep-seated social conditioning is possible and that we can 
 liberate ourselves from generational trauma, hatred and fear—no matter 
 how ingrained and legitimate those fears are.\n\nDuring the course of 
 filming, the Jewish Israeli-American director, Joy Sela, experienced the 
 same transformation that she was documenting with her interview 
 subjects.\n\nEvery element of the film transports the viewer—from the 
 sweeping landscape footage, to the raw storytelling, to the original score 
 composed by an Israeli/Palestinian duo.\n\nDuring the production crew’s 
 years on the ground building relationships, a tightly-wound network of 
 trusted experts in the peace-building & activist communities coalesced that 
 continues to provide public support, ensuring the film’s continuing 
 social impact.\n\nWatch the trailer for The Other on YouTube:
