IDFA 2023: Life is Beautiful
An interview at IDFA 2023 with award-winning Palestinian filmmaker, producer, and artist Mohamed Jabaly. As a young filmmaker he was visiting a film festival in Tromsø in 2014, when the borders to his home Gaza close indefinitely he is unable to return. Not only is he now considered stateless, but his application for an artist visa is rejected as it does not meet the qualification criteria, being a self-taught filmmaker.
