Progressive Cinema presents Return to Gaza
at 7:30 PM on October 12
at the Armidale Club, 91 Beardy Street.
Turntables Restaurant will be open for dinner from 6pm.
Return to Gaza provides personal insight from Fetah Sabawi, a Palestinian-Australian who travelled to Gaza in the hope of founding a music school for refugees just prior to the Palestinian elections in 2006. On his return Sabawi finds himself up against the challenges of living in the region – check-points, constant military presence and squalor – all while persevering to put a human face on an issue that plagues both Palestinians and Israelis.
Produced by One Planet Films in association with Denoux Films Productions between 2006 and 2010, it was filmed in Australia, Egypt, Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. Return to Gaza has won two awards in the USA, including the Award of Excellence at Indie Fest, and has been nominated for three in the UK.
