viennale 2024 #1: “no other land” by yuval abraham, basel adra, hamdan ballal, and rachel szor. very disturbing documentary about the occupied west bank's area masafer yatta by israeli soldiers and jewish settlers. apart from the moving images of the desperate inhabitants, the intimate talks between yuval abraham, and basel adra are reflecting the hopelessness and powerlessness of the palestinan people living there.
