GAZA@NUFF film workshop
For the second time NUFF gives youth in Gaza a chance to participate in this international youth film festival. Gaza, twin city to Tromsø, has been under the Israeli siege since 2007, which prevents the Palestinian youth to participate at NUFF in Tromsø.
The cooperation between NUFF and youth in Gaza started 2006 when the Norwegian filmmaker Anniken Hoel visited Gaza and introduced NUFF to youth in Gaza. In 2006 and 2007 three Palestinian youth were able to travel to Tromsø and to participate at NUFF. That was the last attendance for the Gaza youth at the festival.
Last year NUFF decided to break down the Israeli siege by using the Internet as a platform to accomplish a NUFF film workshop in Gaza. Seven young Palestinians, led by the Palestinian film director Ashraf Al Mashharwi, made a short movie from the idea to the finished film and the result was screened at NUFF.
NUFF is the international window for Palestinian film youth, connecting with youth from all over the world.
