We're finally showing a film at Broadway this month, and it's one of the most important and beautiful films being released today.
Charming, wistful, heartbreaking, hopeful and urgent, Palestine’s official entry to the 2025 Academy Awards FROM GROUND ZERO showcases dozens of emerging Palestinian artists in an urgent cry for humanity from a people under siege.
Each film, ranging in length from 3 to 6 minutes, presents a unique perspective on the current reality in Gaza. Using a mix of genres including fiction, documentary, animation, docu-fiction and experimental cinema, FROM GROUND ZERO presents a rich diversity of stories that reflect the sorrow, joy and hope inherent in Gazan life. The project, masterminded by legendary Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi and Exec Produced by Michael Moore, captures the diverse experiences of life in the Palestinian enclave, including the challenges, tragedies and moments of resilience faced by its people.
On Tuesday 16th September, Rambling Cinema will be introducing this film at Broadway with the help of some local experts, talking about what the reality is for Palestinian people today and what you can do to help. Obviously, this will be less light-hearted than some of our recent films, but I really hope we can get as many people as possible to see the remarkable resilience of people in the worst of circumstances making beautiful films about their reality.
The film will start at 6pm promptly, with an introduction by me and some local experts starting just beforehand. As ever, I will be in the bar afterwards to meet people and talk about the film, as well as to share information and contacts.
