Documentary film about life in occupied West Bank gets Oscar nomination “No Other Land”, a 2024 documentary film that exposes the brutal reality of daily life for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, has been nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film at the Oscars despite having no distribution deal in the United States. Set in the town of Masafer Yatta, the film focuses on the relationship between a Palestinian trying to document the loss of his homeland and a Jewish Israeli journalist he works with to document Israeli settler violence. The film marks the directorial debut of Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, four activists and members of a Palestinian-Israeli collective. Adra’s home was raided by the Israeli military twice during production where they seized computers and cameras. The film has already won several awards, including the Documentary Film Award at the Berlin International Film Festival in February 2024, where Adra and Abraham caused controversy when they used their winners’ speech to condemn the ongoing occupation of Palestine.
