Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk
From Wed 27 Aug to Thu 04 SepA stirring chronicle of Fatma Hassona, a Gaza Journalist who was killed before the film premiered in Cannes in May 2025, by Sepideh Farsi, the Paris-based Franco-Iranian director of The Siren (2023).
‘A miracle happened when I met Fatem through a Palestinian friend. Ever since, she became my eyes in Gaza, while surviving under the bombs and documenting the war. And I, became her connection to the outside world, from her Gaza prison, as she puts it. We kept this line of life going for more than 200 days. The bits of pixels and sounds that we exchanged constitute the film that you see. Fatem’s assassination on April 16, 2025, following an Israeli attack on her home has forever changed its meaning.’ Sepideh Farsi
Special screening
The screening will be followed by a live virtual Q&A with director Sepideh Farsi and Karmabank will co-host a post-screening fundraising reception for medical support in Gaza (featuring live performances, a postcard art sale, and materials for the community to craft their own poetry & art responses). To honour Fatma Hassona’s work as a photojournalist, Karmabank welcomes your photos on the theme of “be human" submitted here.
