Palestinian Director's Gaza Film Wins NETPAC Award at Toronto Festival

Translated & summarized from NEWSru Israel by baba
The story · English

The film "Thirteen in Gaza," by Palestinian director Hossam Abu Dan, has received the NETPAC Award at the 51st Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), which concluded recently. The award recognizes the best Asian film directed by someone making their first or second feature-length production. "Thirteen in Gaza" marks Abu Dan's feature directorial debut. Shot entirely within the Gaza Strip, the film focuses on 13-year-old Raghad and her father as they navigate life in a displacement camp after their home was destroyed. The movie was screened in the Centrepiece program. The NETPAC jury praised the film for its depiction of daily life in Gaza, calling it a "bold and intimate" work that introduces a new directorial voice.

Also featured in the Centrepiece program was the world premiere of Israeli director Avi Nesher's film "Our Loves," which is connected to the events of October 7, 2023. Nesher's film did not receive any awards at the festival. It was not eligible for the NETPAC award, as it is Nesher's 21st feature film, and the award is reserved for first or second features.
