Launched by Palestinian filmmaker Rashid Masharawi, “From Ground Zero”, initiative set out to give artists and filmmakers in Gaza the opportunity to articulate their daily life under genocide through short films (fictional/ documentary/ experimental). Working closely with Gazan filmmakers, Arab and international filmmakers facilitated the development of ideas and provided artistic guidance to the filmmakers from Gaza that resulted in a compilation of 22 short films. Together, the powerful and creative short films, each 3-5 minutes long, create a work of memory to fight against oblivion and leave a trace of the ongoing war against the people of Gaza.
