Greetings film afficionados, let’s keep our face to face gatherings going with a next conversation about No Other Land on Thursday April 24 at 5:00 outside at Vino di Sedona, 2575 AZ 89A. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for good weather.
No Other Land, made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective, was named Best Documentary Film at the Academy Awards and was the year’s most decorated documentary. The film makers documented the demolition of homes in Masafer Yatta in the West Bank from 2019-2023, creating a “visual record of what was happening” that Alissa Wilkinson, in her The New York Times review, called “audacious and devastating” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/movies/no-other-land-documentary-gaza-west-bank.html. We’re hoping you were able to catch the film when it played at the Mary D. Fisher in late March since as you know, the film has had a difficult time finding a US distributor (which introduces much asked questions about documentary films and market distribution).
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday, April 24 at 5:00 at Vino di Sedona. DORR’s political film club is hosted by DORR member Mik Jordahl (Attorney) and Board member Frankie Riemer (Professor).
