NATIONAL PANORAMA
World Premiere

A profound and necessary reflection on sound creation as an non-negotiable tool for resistance, memory, and community. Through the testimonies of ten Palestinian artists based in various European cities, the film poses a fundamental question: what is the meaning of making music when one’s land, culture, and identity itself are under extreme strain? A poetic dialogue navigating between the preservation of tradition and the search for innovation, rootness to the land, and life in exile. In their hands, artistic expression reveals itself as a daily, deeply political, and human act—capable of giving voice to emotions and sustaining hope amidst uncertainty.
