No Other Land – special screening at Kunstnernes Hus Kino

November 26 2024

Join us for a special screening of the film No Other Land, announced as one of the most important and influential film of 2024.

Location: Kunstnernes Hus Cinema
Date and Time: Wednesday, December 4, 2024, 6:00 PM – 7:35 PM

Join us for a special screening of the film No Other Land, announced as one of the most important and influential film of 2024.

For half a decade, Basel Adra, a Palestinian activist, films his community of Masafer Yatta being destroyed by Israel’s occupation, as he builds an unlikely alliance with an Israeli journalist who wants to join his fight.

The screening will be preceded by a conversation with its producers, Bård Kjøge Rønning og Fabien Greenberg from the Norwegian production company behind the film, Antipode films. They will discuss their collaboration with the film collective based in Palestine and Israel – Basel Adra, Hamdam Ballal, Yuval Abraham og Rachel Szor and recount the reception following the film’s release, which involves—not only critical acclaim—but also cancelations, accusations of antisemitism, visa denials, as well as death threats.

The screening is organised in collaboration with Antipode Films and Fritt Ord. It is part of a broader program arranged in partnership with Fritt Ord for which the exhibitions of Kunstnernes Hus create the framework for current conversations about the intersections of art, society and freedom.

Geologist Farouk Al-Kasim joined the the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate in 1968, shaping Norwegian petroleum resource management for decades afterwards. Now, documentary film director Halkawt Mustafa and producer Janne Hjeltnes are making a film about Al-Kasim’s life and reflections.
“Farouk tells me something in this film that he has not talked about before, because he has always told the version he feels Norway wanted to hear,” recounts Mustafa, who has Iraqi roots himself.

– Cultural journalism is under pressure. Part of the problem is media outlets failing to cover culture in formats and ways that appeal to people under 30, says Ida Madsen Hestman, editor, freelance critic, and founder of TBATBA.no. Last year, she started the kind of publication she herself would want to read.

The magazine TBA is among those awarded funding in June 2025. See the full list of grants in Norsk Journalistikk.
