Three MiniDV tapes of life in Gaza from 2001 were recently rediscovered. What started as a search for a former prison mate from 1989 led to an unexpected road trip from the north to the south of Gaza with Hasan, a local guide whose fate remains unknown. A cinematic reflection on memory, loss, and the passage of time, capturing a Gaza of the past and lives that may never be found again.
After the screening, Erzsébet N. Rózsa, a Middle East expert and scientific advisor, and Beja Margitházi, assistant professor at the Film Studies Department of Eötvös Loránd University, will take part in a discussion led by Ernő Simon, the Hungarian spokesperson for UNHCR.
The screenings of the Re:Verzió program series will take place from 12 March until 12 June. If you want to be informed about other events, subscribe to our newsletter and follow our news on Facebook.
