As we close our Somerset House takeover, we present NO OTHER LAND in solidarity with Palestine. We remember Awdah (Odeh) Hathaleen and acknowledge co-director Hamdan Ballal’s recent detention and release. We affirm safety, dignity and the freedom to document. The freedom to report and the freedom to protest. Their courage and the courage of the communities in this work reminds us why cinema matters: to witness, to resist and to insist on basic human rights #freepalestine.

Grab comp tickets while they last and join us at the bar for networking drinks from 6pm.

Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community's mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, as soldiers destroy the homes of families - the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel, living under a brutal military occupation, and Yuval, unrestricted and free. This film, by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists, was co-created during the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.
