PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK

Sepideh Farsi

  • 113 minutes
  • 2025
  • English and Arabic with English Subtitles
  • December 7

    PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK offers an intimate, first-hand perspective on life under siege in Gaza, captured through video calls between director Sepideh Farsi and 25-year-old Palestinian photojournalist and poet Fatma Hassona. Combining raw immediacy with deep humanity, the film captures daily life during the conflict through the eyes and unwaveringly optimistic presence of Fatma, a talented photographer whose generation is trapped in an endless cycle of war, famine, and resistance. Her conversations with Farsi bring us into the heart of the conflict, even while their physical distance underscores the dire situation inside Gaza. PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK is an essential document that now stands as a heartfelt memorial and final testament: Fatma and her family were tragically killed by a targeted Israeli airstrike on April 16, one day after the film was announced as a selection of the Cannes Film Festival. You’ll feel loss, but the afterimage of this singular woman’s belief in finding light is what will burn. Simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking, it is one of the best and most important movies of the year, please don't miss this.

  • Macedonian with English subtitles
  • December 12 - 14

    THE TALE OF SILYAN is a lovely character study of a man and an injured stork, one that intertwines mythology and the plight of people who work off a dying land into a poignant and visually arresting story set in the heart of rural Macedonia. Nikola, a farmer grappling with the harsh realities of new government policies, finds himself unable to sell his land or crops. When his family leaves in search of a better life abroad, Nikola takes a job as a landfill attendant, where he encounters the injured white stork Silyan. As he nurses the bird back to health, an unlikely bond forms between man and animal. The result is a deeply moving film that touches on climate change, economic migration, resilience and the quiet power of connection. From the oscar-nominated director of ‘Honeyland'.
