NEXT WEEK Film Screening ilkleyplayhouse of "Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk" Directed by Sepideh Farsi.
12A Palestine / France / Iran 2025, 110 min. Certificate
This film is an intimate, first-hand perspective of life in Gaza, told through a series of video calls between filmmaker Sepideh Farsi and young Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona. Their digital dialogue became a vital record, bearing witness to everyday life, loss, and acts of resistance amid escalating violence.
Just a day after the film's selection at Cannes, Fatma was tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike on her home. This heartbreaking loss deepens the film's impact, which combines raw immediacy with profound humanity to portray the stark realities of daily life during conflict, seen through the eyes of those trapped in an endless cycle of war and living under siege.
← This screening has been organised by an informal grouping of Ilkley residents. Surplus funds will be sent to Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). The doors will open at 7pm; there will be information available and the bar will be open. After the film, the bar will open again and there will be an opportunity to talk about the film with fellow audience members.
