The film, based on the story of Palestinian activist Basel Adra and his friend, Jewish journalist Yuval Abraham, documents the systematic destruction of Palestinian lives by Israeli occupation forces and settlers in the West Bank village of Masafer Yatta. It is worth a note that the filming of the film ended in October 2023.

We are delighted with the award and are pleased to have included the film in our festival with an accompanying program. We will screen No Other Country on Saturday, April 26th from 4:00 p.m. At approximately 5:30 p.m., a discussion with Czech-Palestinian social anthropologist Yasar Abu Ghosh, who works at the Faculty of Humanities at Charles University, will begin. Yasar Abu Ghosh deals with the politics of memory, the economy on the margins, or violence and resistance, especially with regard to European Roma groups. As a Palestinian growing up in Prague, he intervenes in the public debate in Palestine and Israel. He contributed to the collective anthology If I Must Die, Let It Be a Story (2024), which conveys the missing Palestinian perspective on the suffering of the people of Gaza and which won the Documentary Book of the Year award at the Jihlava Documentary Film Festival last year.
