Gaza’s long association with resistance and humanitarian need has
generated a complex and ever shifting range of visual material,
comprising not just news reports and documentaries, but also essay,
experimental, and fiction films, militant videos, and solidarity
images. Contributors to Gaza on Screen, who include scholars and
Gazan filmmakers, explore the practice, production, and impact of
film and videos from and about the Gaza Strip. Conceptualizing
screens—both large and small—as tools for mediation that are
laden with power, the volume explores Gazan film and video in
relation to humanitarianism and human rights, care, community,
environment, mobility and confinement, and decolonization. The
volume includes visual material ranging from solidarity broadcasts
on Lebanese television, mid-twentieth-century British Pathé
newsreels, and fiction films to breaking news, visuals of
contemporary militant resistance, documentaries, and found footage
films, arguing for a visual ecosystem in which differing types of
film and video affect and inform each other. Throughout, Gaza on
Screen demonstrates that screens shape and sustain
relationships between Gaza and the world, and help to sustain the
possibility of a different future. Contributors. Nayrouz Abu
