No Other Land
(2024, 1h35, by Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham, Hamdan Ballal, and Rachel Szor, with Portuguese subtitles)
6 June 2025, 6.30pm | Cineteatro Camacho Costa, Odemira
We’re pleased to open the Doc’s Kingdom Sessions in Odemira with the screening of No Other Land, taking place on 6th June 2025 at 6.30pm at Cineteatro Camacho Costa. This screening marks the beginning of a program of documentary films presented in Odemira throughout the year, in anticipation of the seminar which will take place in November.
Co-directed by Basel Adra—an activist from the village of Masafer Yatta—and the Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham, together with Hamdan Ballal and Rachel Szor, the film follows the resistance of the local community against the destruction of Basel’s village and the normalized brutality of Israel’s military occupation.
A powerful testimony to the ethnic cleansing and apartheid system built by Israel in Palestine, the film arrives at a time when genocide is being carried out in Gaza and increasingly violent tactics are spreading across the West Bank. While the film circulates internationally, the destruction it documents continues on the ground—homes are still being demolished, communities displaced, and lives uprooted in real time.
The screening will be followed by a conversation. The session is free and open to all.
