"Vital documentary focusing on the resilient beauty of Gaza’s history, culture, architecture and customs - now replaced in the public consciousness by images of death and destruction. Shot in July 2023, journalist Yousef Al-Helou was unknowingly filming a city on the brink of erasure; he’ll be offering his personal reflections on the genocide and the inevitable survival of the Gazan people in a post-screening Q&A."
