*FILM DETAILS*
Gaza Calling | Director: Nahed Awwad
Documentary, 64 minutes | 2012
Country of Origin: Palestine, UAE, Switzerland
Film Synopsis:
Inspired by the director's own experiences, Gaza Calling captures the
personal costs faced by Palestinian families torn apart by arbitrary
Israeli barriers within their own country. Samer attends Birzeit
University in Ramallah (West Bank) while his family resides in Gaza.
Mustafa is stranded in Gaza as his mother and siblings desperately try
to reunite with him in the West Bank. Only a one-hour drive apart,
neither son has seen his family in person for more than 6 years. Under
Israeli law they are considered "infiltrators" in their own country,
their ID cards restrict them from moving between Gaza and the West Bank.
As they try to navigate the convoluted bureaucracy of permits, lawyers
and NGOs, these families must rely on phone calls and the internet to
transcend borders and stay connected.
Awards:
Dubai International Film Festival (2012): Nominated for Muhr Arab Award/
Best Film/ Documentary; Special Mention - Birds Eye View Film Festival
in London (2013); Hot Docs International Documentary Festival (2013).
This is event is organized as part of 2017 Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW)

First launched in Toronto in 2005, IAW has grown to become one of the
most important global events in the Palestine solidarity calendar. This
year, IAW will take place in more than 150 cities across the globe. The
week aims to raise awareness about Israel's ongoing practices of
apartheid, occupation and dispossession against the Palestinian people.

Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement.
Israeli Apartheid Week in Toronto is organized by Students Against
Israeli Apartheid (SAIA), the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid
(CAIA), Students for Justice in Palestine at Ryerson (SJP), the
