WITH HASAN IN GAZA
Three MiniDV tapes of life in Gaza from 2001 were recently rediscovered. This footage, shot by filmmaker Kamal Aljafari, is now a testament to a place and time that no longer exists. What started as a search for a former prison mate from 1989 — a man lost to time and war — led to an unexpected road trip from the north of Gaza to the south with Hasan, a local guide whose fate remains unknown. As the camera moves through Gaza’s streets and landscapes, it records fleeting moments of everyday life — fragments of a reality now irreversibly altered. This documentary transforms this forgotten footage into a cinematic reflection on memory, loss and the passage of time, capturing a Gaza of the past and lives that may never be found again.
