A Gaza Weekend

Thu, Jul 20, 2023
    Part of
  • BAM Film 2023
  • and
  • Contemporary Arab Cinema
Directed by Basil Khalil
With Stephen Mangan, Mouna Hawa, Loai Nofi

When a deadly virus escapes from a lab in Israel, a British-Israeli couple seeks refuge in the Gaza Strip, which has hilariously and ironically become one of the safest places in the country. Writer and director Basil Khalil’s pitch-perfect political satire is a sharply funny commentary on the Israeli occupation, love, and politics in pandemic times.
