“It’s been an extraordinary week for No Other Land…”

“The film set in the occupied West Bank won Best Feature Documentary at the 40th IDA Documentary Awards in Los Angeles on Thursday and it also won the Best Director prize ... The quartet of filmmakers also received the IDA’s Courage Under Fire Award, a previously announced honor recognizing the difficult and dangerous conditions in which the film was made.

“No Other Land swept most of the awards announced this week: on Monday, it won Best Documentary at the Gotham Awards, and on Tuesday, the New York Film Critics Circle named it the best documentary of the year. It won the National Board of Review Freedom of Expression Award on Wednesday...”

‘Emilia Perez’ wins big at European Film Awards 2024 (Screen Daily, 2024-12-07)

“The documentary prize was won by No Other Land, about the Israeli demolition of villages in Masafer Yatta in the West Bank. It is the latest in a string of wins for Berlinale premiere ...”

“Two of its co-directors – Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham and Palestinian activist Basel Adra – accepted the reward remotely by video feed. Adra said it was very hard to celebrate the award at a time when ‘the occupation is committing a genocide against my people,’ while Abraham said ethnic cleansing was being carried out against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

“Addressing European governments, Abraham said: ‘It’s not enough to demand a ceasefire. A ceasefire needs to be imposed.’ As they finished their acceptance speech, a shout of ‘Free Palestine’ rang out in the auditorium.”
