Gaza Surf Club by Philip Gnadt and Mickey Yamine

As international news outlets, world leaders, and major social media platforms are engaging in censorship and distorting the narrative, all while perpetuating the dehumanization of Palestinians and their enduring suffering, we extend our channels in support of "Palestine Cinema Days" Festival, forcibly canceled.

On the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, observed on November 2nd, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices, we are screening "Gaza Surf Club" directed by Philip Gnadt and Mickey Yamine.

Trapped in “the world largest open prison” and ruled by war, a new generation is drawn to the beaches. Sick of occupation and political gridlock, they find their own personal freedom in the waves of the Mediterranean – they are the surfers of Gaza.
