Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk
classified 12A PSPut Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk offers an intimate, first-hand perspective of life in Gaza, told through a series of video calls between filmmaker Sepideh Farsi and young Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona.
Their digital dialogue became a vital record, bearing witness to everyday life, loss, and acts of resistance amid escalating violence. Just a day after the film’s selection at Cannes, Fatma was tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike on her home.
This devastating loss deepens the film’s impact. Combining raw immediacy with profound humanity, it portrays the stark realities of daily life during conflict, as seen through the eyes of those trapped in an endless cycle of war and living under siege.
- There will be a Cinébabies screening (for parents/carers of babies under 12 months) of Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk on Wed 10 Sept at 11:00.
